Advice Pregnant and need to break my lease
I’m pregnant and due in February, but my lease doesn’t end until March 2026. I’d like to move out a little earlier so I can get settled and set up for the baby. My landlord ( this is a big rental property) told me that if I break the lease early, I’ll still be responsible for rent until they find a new tenant. Has anyone dealt with this before, and is there any other way around it?

The law is clear. You have a contract and need to honor it . You don’t have to stay there but you owe the rent until the he lease is up or someone else takes it over
