Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

How to break a lease?

Because of my financial situation I

have to leave my place. I have 8

months left. I read the lease

agreement and it does not mention

anything about terminating the

lease. Also this is a back house that

is attached to another unit. I believe

its was agarage. Is there a website

where i can find out if this place has

been inspected?

Why don't you do the civil thing and talk to the landlord about having to leave?

You might also check with the building department and see if the garage/living unit was registered as a dwelling. If not, rent should not be charged.
