Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Tenants breaking lease agreement

My friends and I signed a year-lease contract, which has started at the beginning of July (this month). We don't want to live there anymore because the apartment is dirty and the landlord refuses to get the apartment cleaned before we move in, and has been very rude to us when we called to discuss the matter with him. It is already the 17th of July. I don't even think about getting back the first month's rent, but are we going to able get the security deposite back? (monthly rent was $1500 and the deposite was $1700)

It gets worse, you might get stuck paying the monthly rent for as long as it takes him to find new renters.
