I leased a home on Sept 2009?

very costly CA property but was able to afford it. April 2010 I lost my job after an on the job work injury, but surprisingly with disability i was able to afford it and signed a new lease Sept 2010 (through coercion...owner has the right to raise the rent etc etc) Unexpectedly my disability has ended (i've never been on disability and did not familiarize myself with the time frame) and now I have no income and will have to live with friends for awhile, I am trying to physically get better and continue my education so that I become a productive citizen once again. Well the leasing company has become very rude because i cannot afford it anymore..even the owner offered to reduce my $1500 rent so that i can stay..of course i cannot afford this... so i understand that I am "skipping" out on my lease 4 months early but what recourse can they take (right now) if i have no income and I am not even sure when I will? I understand they can attach my wages in the future, but what is the limitation? Your answers are greatly appreciated
