I have spoken to a RE attorney 10 miles away in "town" and he advised that I send a Termination Notice be first and the owners have to cure their May late payment within 30 days of the served notice (or move out).  

GC is about to walk out on me. We are in the middle of a remodel. We have a contract. I haven't payed anything upfront so it is not a money issue, more the fact that there are half done jobs left behind and another gc...

I contacted them via email and informed them of my desire to terminate my contract and be the initial point of contact with my guests once again.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Just give notice that the lease is terminated?

Where I am at, I only need to give 30 days notice on rent increases or lease terminations on M2M, so that is nice. 

I'm currently living in Hoboken, but my landlord is not willing to allow me to terminate my lease early, find a replacement , or sublet while my roommate continues to stay here.

I've done the same as a seller, they screwed up and I terminated the deal, they tried to force the matter and they failed to give adequate consideration for the size and scope of the transaction contemplated and lost.

Here's a case study that would be dismissed based on your criterion:-Asset: Mix Use 11 Unit Building-Contract Price: $1.73M-Existing Rent Roll $15,800*Currently 1 vacant commercial space market rent $5,500 & 9 apartments all leased below market value (60 day termination provisions for each residential lease). -$650,000 Renovation Budget-Stabilized Rent Roll $25,400-"As Complete and Stabilized Value": $3.45MThat's a recent MLS deal in a B+ Philadelphia location with a credit tenant that's been there for 20 years in the occupied commercial space.

When i arrived she handed me a bill for $200 for batteries that had been replaced in the chair.
