All you have to do is write a letter to the landlord (and send it Certified Mail) stating the DATE you will be out of the apartment. Also state that this is your "30-day Notice" in the letter. It really is that simple.

address the people/company you are renting from. i am sure they could work something suitable out for you with your being able to move. they are reasonable people or should be. things happen beyond our control sometimes and i know they know that too. next time you get room mates have them added onto the lease with your leaser. that way you are not totally responsible for everything.

I can only suggest seeing a lawyer if they do not want to let you out of the lease.  Have you given your landlord some type of documentation from your doctor stating the problem?  Depending on the time left on your lease, if it's not to long, you may be able to work out a deal with the landlord.  Good Luck KG

You should read the fine print of your lease.  If you move out and they re-rent the apartment, they can NOT charge you from that date forward for any further rent.  Will they let you sublet to someone else?  Most states have free landlord tenant assistance.  Call 211 and explain the problem to them so that they can best assist you.  Perhaps a moderator would be of some help.  If you do decide to move, make sure that they sign off on the apartment that you left it in good order and that you both agree on the damages if any in writing, as well as your move out date.

Find a sublet-er? Ask the lease holder if you can buy your way out?

You have the right to leave the apartment, that's about it.  With no lease, if you piss the landlord off, he probably will just send you packing.

A lease is a contract and if they've breached specifics of the contract, you could very well be able to get out of the lease.  If these are just "rules" that are posted (and not specifically part of the lease contract), then you probably would have to wait for the lease to expire.  \n\nSince you say "the lease clearly states that all residents....", the company that is renting the apartment (probably for illegal aliens) seems to be breaking their lease agreement, at the risk of your safety.  You may be able get that company's lease terminated or be allowed out of yours.  \n\nIf you can prove a pattern of the landlord not enforcing provisions of other leases, a judge would probably find in your favor.\n\nMy recommendation would be to contact the local HUD office or a real estate attorney and show them the lease.

Since you call it an apartment he has become a tenant and you will have to follow legal eviction procedures to get him out.  Any of the self-help solutions others have suggested will just get you and your homeowners policy sued.  (Think what the rates will be if they have you listed as single family home and in fact you have an apartment and a tenant!)  Also I don't know your building codes but I will bet your apartment is illegal and not built with permits, because you said you have one hvac unit for both residences.  You opened a can of worms when you rented this out.  (For whatever the rent was supposed to be) and he will have access to legal aid in Los Angeles for sure.  Good luck be more careful in future to follow the law.

Make sure you can get out of your lease first then present those facts to your current landlord. If they dont give you a break, move.

This is a tough situation and there is no really good solution.\n\nRemember that what someone can "legally" do is not really a practical limit on what they may actually do. Worse still, you can have all sorts of legal rights but if the only way to exercise them is to go to court then the solution may be worse than the problem.\n\nThe only thing is really to get the stuff out right now. If the apartment is in the other person's name then she's not going to get any immediate help from the legal system.\n\nEDIT: From another question that you posted I'm now unsure if this is a room mate situation or a landlord-tenant case. Please clarify. It affects the answer.

ABSOLUTELY!  I went through this same situation in my first apartment I ever rented out of college.  The trick to getting out of the lease is Documentation and Proof.  Log and try to videotape (with audio) the noise and time of the barking.  By law, you're entitled to enjoyment of your premises.  This is an infringement on your right to peace & quiet.  You don't have to tolerate it, however, there is a procedure to follow to shield yourself from liability from the balance of the lease!  Check with an attorney for the correct steps to take before you leave, but with a heart condition, the landlord ought to be far more afraid of a wrongful death suit over a broken lease!  Get out of there, but make sure you have PROOF as you may have to settle it in small claims court someday, and if documented properly, you may be entitled to receive monetary compensation for inconvenience, moving costs, deposits and court costs!  All the best.

PRESUMIMG THE LEASE IS AN APARTMENT;\nIt comes down to the "fine print" in your lease. What did you sign up for? A year? Sometimes you can get out of it just by paying for the advertising until the apartment is rerented, so it's no money out of the landlord's pocket. But remind the landlord, as long as you are paying the rent, even though you don't live there they can't accept rent money from anyone else and the apartment must remain unoccupied. (they can't collect "double rent" for the same apartment)

Try another apt community, this should not stop you from housing. sometimes having at least the full amount of 1 month rent and deposit available you should not have problems
