No. You have a contract. You have to legally wait out the full term on the contract even if you are the owner of the house.

In some areas I believe judges will allow this in limited situations, if you can prove this beyond a doubt as some people do it just for profit.

No since you agreed to rent the house for the length of time that the lease was for and without grounds that the tenant has broken terms of the lease they are entitled to live in the house for the length of time it was leased for.
No court will grant an eviction for what you described. It is a shame you have gotten into the situation you have but the lease is a binding agreement and if you broke it you can be sued and be in a worse financial situation.

No, you can’t. Just like a tenant cannot break a lease for not being able to afford their rent, you cannot break the lease on the grounds of not thinking things through and making sure you could afford both places.
I guess you will be looking for a rental house to live in yourself. Make sure, though, to give the tenant notice that you will not be renewing their lease at the end of the lease period.
