Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

I need help with management company

My wife has just given birth and we are in a lease that end on 7/30/2008. She has back problems and has being visiting multiple doctors. We live on the 3rd floor of the apt & she carries the baby while she takes care of normal house chores. Shes in & out of the home about 3 to 5 times daily. The long walking and heavylifting has been making her situation worse. The doctor then advised us to relocate closer to her parents so her mother can help her raise the baby & help her get back to health. In the lease contract & doesnt list anything about breaking the lease to health issues. She almost fell once because of her back and carrying the baby. If she would have fell with the newborn in her hand I would have been devistated. They wont let me out of the lease unless I pay two months of payment. Is there any laws against letting us leave with penalty especially when living here is a hazard to her & my childs health? Please help.

Sorry to report that there are no laws allowing breach of lease based upon health. Ordinarily, however, landlords are cooperative.
