Question: Can i advertise my apartment because the landlord is not advertising it properly?

I am breaking my one year lease for safety reasons and my landlord isn't advertising the unit properly, i am still living in it, can i advertise it and show it? The landlord has signs in front of the house but he is not advertising it on the net or newspapers, i found the house on the internet and when i first saw it the previous tenants were still living in it. the landlord wants to keep charging me the monthly rend as long as the apartment is empty, plus he wants me to pay $500 for early termination

Your LL can't keep charging you the month rent AND an early termination fee. Usually this is written within the lease about "early termination ". Typically if a renter needs to move out early there is a fee involved for the early termination. Once you satisfy the early term fee with the LL then your offically terminating your lease. Now, if your LL said that he would help by renting your apartment to help limit your financial liability, I can see that, but once you start paying early term fees you are not required to continually pay the monthly rent..that makes not sense.
