The are on the hook for all of the rent for the remaining term of the lease.
You however have an obligation to mitigate the damages by working to get it rented in a timely fashion.

Essentially they are required to pay the rent until you get it re-rented.

I would try to work out a agreement that they pay for x-number of months rent and call it good.

Most likely what will happen is they will not agree to that, move out not pay and you can go after them in court for the rent owed. be prepared to show proof that you are in the process of finding new renters.

I had a renter get a job transfer and her company paid for 3 months of rent after she moved out. They paid it as one lump sum when she moved out and the agreement was whether or not I got it rented in 3 months I kept the money, but could not go after her or the company if I could not get it rented after 3Mo.

I managed to find a renter within 2 weeks and got double rent for those months.
