What is the name of your state? California

If i give a landlord a deposit equal to the rent for one month. Then if i sign a lease agreement for one year. What could his actions be against me if i leave before the end of the contractual date?

Though shall owe thy landlord a silk purse filled with gold coins....

You are responsible for the full duration of the contract, the landlord would have to make an attempt to re-rent, any time not rented through the remaining duration of the contract you will be responsible to pay for, plus any advertising costs, plus any cleaning costs to re-prepare unit, plus any legal fees landlord paid to recover damages and rent owed.
