I live in Los Angeles. I moved into this building 3 months ago with one year lease. It turned out to be very noisy with the neighbors' voice, door slamming, foot steps, etc. I could complain it to the landlord, but the problem seems to be the building being poor quality with thin walls and ceilings. Is there any law that protects me if I break the lease because I'm not happy with the neighbors and the poor quality building?

In the future, when I rent an apartment, shouldn't I be able to spend some time in the apartment before I sign a lease? How about a cool-off period? Or being entitled to month-to-month instead of a lease? Please advise.
