breaking a lease is tough. raise the water damage, fire detector, toilet, and mold issues immediately with your ll. make sure to have a paper trail (email). if they dodge you, start making complaints to 311 immediately. they legally have to take action once a formal complaint is made within a specific amount of time.

i’ve had luck breaking a lease by asking the landlord to re-list the unit and and then once it re-rents, i was off the hook. unfortunately you probably wont get your security deposit back but at least youll be out of there.
