If you break a lease due to relocation are you entitled to your security deposit?

My husband is being relocated and we need to break our lease. There are only two months left. We paid a security deposit of $650 as well as a $100 pet deposit. We intend to leave the house in better condition than when we found it. We have had nothing but problems with this house since we moved in. A defective heater, a door that is unable to shut and lock properly, excessive flooding on the property, infestation of insects, and other issues. The landlord lives in WA, while the property is in CA. We have had many phone conversations with our landlord regarding these issues, and none of them have been satisfied. What do we do? We will be moving within 3 weeks, but will have paid the rent through August 1st.
