I live in Michigan, and my wife is now pregnant, is there a way to break my lease so we can move home, close to our families?

Speak to your landlord about this matter. If the rental market is strong there, they may be willing to let you out of the lease with no problems. If you have already done this, your only recourse is to pay whatever penalties may be assessed against you for early termination, or violate the terms of the lease, (which will likely result in legal action against you,) or see it through, which will teach you the importance of making sure of your intentions for the future before entering into a legal contract. Just so you know, I am a landlord who was recently screwed by a tenant who "changed their plans" after signing a lease agreement. They left me hanging, and I am suing them. Had they talked to me, and given me a chance to get another tenant, I would have let them out of the lease.

It is worth discussing with the landlord, but leases are very hard to break. Not sure of the laws there, but he in Mass there has to be reasons such as bugs (roaches or bed bugs) or constant fighting in the hallways, and lastly if the landlord does not fix the heater, or AC etc, you can call the Board of Health, which can lead to breaking the lease..
