Is your home in great order and shape? Is your landlord fulfiling his end of the agreement?

If you can say YES to either or both questions you might be able to break the lease by means of constructive eviction.

If the answers are NO, then you can't break out of a lease, or if you do, you suffer the consequences: your landlord can keep the security deposit and you may be liable for the rent of the unit for each month it's vacant during the time of your lease or until the unit is rented out.

You can't. If you signed a lease the landlord can sue you for the full amount of the lease term. If there is no lease then the landlord can have you evicted. Even so, you will still be liable for what you owe. I suggest letting the landlord know your situation. You might also apply for assistance. Look in your phone book for help lines.

Move out of the apartment, let them keep your deposit. Or you can, with the landlord's permission, assign the lease to someone else to take over.

Can you break your lease if an apartment complex raises your rent after 8 months into a year lease and you cant afford the new rent?

The lease is a contract. If it says the rent is X for one year, they are not free to increase it during that period. What you can afford has nothing to do with it. What matters is the law. Check if your city has rent control laws that limit the increases.
