I have been diagnosed with several health issues that require me to be under supervision and I will need to move back into my parents home. Is there a way that I can legally end a home rental lease? I can have my doctor show proof? Please tell me what my options are.

Maybe if you talk to your landlord and were a good tenant they might just let you out - but offer them your security deposit to break it.

Unless you can prove that your health issues stem from the property you dwell in, you can’t break the rental lease. You might try subleasing. Or try talking to the landlord about your situation. Your landlord might not want to have someone with your health condition in his/her property… You might get lucky and have to pay just a month or two worth of rents to get out.

Unless there’s a clause in your lease saying you can break it for health reasons, you can’t. Have you talked to your landlord? They might agree to allow you to terminate the lease early.

since you need supervision, your land lord will probably let you out of the lease with a letter from your dr. it becomes a liability issue for you to continue to live there, but he has the option of keeping your security deposit.
notify him in writing, and talk to him at the same time.

I’ve never been presented with this problem, so I’m really unsure whether or not you can break your rental lease.
