Legal Question in Disability Law in California

pregnancy

I am having twins and have been

told that i can no longer climb stairs.

The home we rent has 3 flights. My

daughter on the top us on the

bottom.

Because of this and a heart condtion

my daughter is willing to write a

letter to help us get out of our lease

early (4 months left). Our landlord is

refusing to let us out. What can we

do?

Re: pregnancy

Other than asking the landlord to have a heart, not much. You have a contract. He can enforce the contract. Check your lease and see if it is assumable if you find a new tenant for them. It is also possible that the lease might allow a sub-tenant [someone to live there and pay you rent, and then you pay the rent to your landlord.] Since you only have four months left, you might want to gulp hard, and pay the rent for four months then move.

Good luck.
