My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
I had to break a 1 year lease when I was 7 months into the lease. I gave the landlord 30 days notice before moving out. It has been 3 months since I moved out, and the landlord hasn't found another tenant yet. I had offered to help find another tenant for the same rent that I was paying. But they were not willing to rent the unit for the same amount. They raised the rent for the unit from $1950 that I was paying to $2350.
I'd like to know if I am liable to pay rent for the remaining 5 months on the lease if the landlord doesn't find another tenant for the new rate, which is $400 above what I was paying. Thanks!
