Rental lease termination
I recently got a job approx. 1.5 hours from where i had a leased apartment. I have six months left on my lease and i could npt afford to drive back and forth. I talked to my landlord and she would not let me out of my lease until either i find someone to sublet the apartment, or she puts it on a list and she leases it. In the mean time i cannot afford to move into another place near my new job and i have since moved out of the apartment and i am living with my mother until i can get this resolved. I actually make less now then at my previous job which i left for personal reasons, so i could not afford the apartment now anyway. My question is, is there anyway i can get out of my lease under my current situation? What can i do, i am running out of money, and what happens when i cant pay the rent or my other bills because i am still paying on this apartment?

Inadequate cooling in home
I signed a month to month residential lease 1,400 month plus 1,450 first month rent. Went into the house the next day, very hot turned on the airconditoner, it never cooled off. Spoke with the landlord said I would not move in hardly any air coming out of ducts. He had a man come to check, called me said it was fine.
Went over the next day turned it on in am for 5 hours went back still hot.
Called landlord said I could not move in. He said it was adequate. Called air condioning Co. man came out did a check for adequate cooling of the house. He said the unit was too small and I would fry in the summer. The company documented this information.
I live in Palm Springs, very hot here!!! Called landlord, he said he would not upgrade the unit.
I never occupied the dwelling, he did give me back my deposit, but kept the $1,450. He told me the unit was working great when we were going over the lease.
