Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I'm 17 and I live with my Aunt and Uncle, they are my legal guardians.
Recent events however have lead to a distrust between me and them and they have asked me to pay rent. I signed a lease August 18th, but the lease was on a month to month basis and they have failed to ask me to resign a lease for September or October, am I still legally obligated to pay? And they are only Guardians of my well-being, legally my father is still my financial guardian.
I cannot afford to pay rent and I do not turn 18 until the 28th so I have no alternative to staying with my Aunt and Uncle, but if the failure for them to provide me with a lease for the past two months gives me a legal reason to ask for my money back and not pay for this month so I can actually save the little bit of money I make to go to school and move out.

A 17 year old cannot enter into a binding lease. You are entitled to your money back.
