illegal apartment

[ergate]

Recently we have found out that our apartment is illegal (the court papers were delivered to my apartment by mistake, rather than the LL). We want to move out, but we have signed a lease. Can we break this lease? where can I find out what sort of rights I have in regards to getting out of this apartment?
Thanks

edit I posted this to the wrong category, could a someone move it to the unregulated category.
