Breeak a Lease Legally?

[LKLICK]

On May 25, 2007 I signed a 12 month lease. I want to move out by March 1, 2008, which would require breaking my lease. The landlord will not allow me to do so. I would only have 2 months and 25 days left on the lease. Is it legal for the landlord to state that the tenant is responsible for taking care of pests and rodents, even though California Civil Code 1941.1 states that it is the Lessors responsibilty? I do not have any problems, but in the lease I signed it states that I am to be responsible. Would this be breach of contract or void the contract If the lessor is supposed to be responsible?

The lease wording does not provide you a "get out of lease" card....you CAN leave the unit, you are still responsible for rent and upkeep of the unit through the lease term and you need to return keys per your move-out instructions.

So it wouldn't be a void contract?
