First you should talk to your landlord. I was only in the 5th month of my lease when I had to move back home because of a family emergency. If your landlord isn't understanding then I would go to a lawyer.

Read your lease. Provisions or the terms detail what happens to fulfill your lease. The last time I checked.......health reasons are not provisions of terminating a lease/rental agreement. Usually transfrer of military location or orders to ship out are reason to break lease. You are responsible for the term. Or the term must have expired. OR the two (2) parties must come to another agreement. Check on your own / find someone that is financially qualified to take your place as the lessee. Your landlord has the right to do nothing.
Good luck.

The first thing to do is definately talk to your landlord. Most are understanding. As a property owner I would rather have you leave on good terms than to risk having you leave the place trashed.
If the Landlord is not understanding, I would seek out a local tenant rights group. They can almost always help you break a lease. In metro areas, most have lawyers available to answer questions for Free.

couple of things: read the lease to see if their is a clause to terminate early
next under contract law even if you breach the contract and move out the landlord will have a legal duty to mitigate their damage and must try and re-rent the unit before coming after you, usually ends up with two/three months rent but not two years
another bit even if the landlord gets a judgment they can not by law garnish disability so they can not touch that check

That would probably depend on your state. I would go to a lawyer and get a free consultation (most offer the first visit free) and ask them about it. I'm sure it depends on state. But if you are on disability would that not be able to pay your rent? Or are you more worried about living conditions? Either way I'd talk to a lawyer just in case

this is by utilising no ability criminal grounds for something to do with the hire. A tenant broke the regulation, if rentals must be broken by way of fact of a single unlawful act, no hire contained in usa would be worth writing. this is by utilising no ability criminal reason to interrupt the hire, which in ordinary terms occurs while the owner fails of their accountability.
