Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

My landlord is in default on their loan. Since they are not making their mortgage payments, and I am still paying them rent, can I legally break the lease before it is due to expire? The lease I have with them is very generic and doesn't include this sort of scenario.

Thank you
