My downstairs neighbors are making (or at least doing) meth in their apartment. I've talked to the police, who can't do anything about it other than keep an eye on the place. The apartment managers haven't done anything about it either, even though unlike the police, they don't need a warrant to check it out. I've made it clear to them that I am very concerned. 3 days later, they still haven't addressed the issue. My question is, do I have any legal right to break my lease? It seems so unfair that my apartment building is full of tenants that aren't even aware that they're being exposed to an extrememly hazardous and toxic situation. I don't even want to go home because I'm afraid of the building exploding or having the neighbors confront me for reporting them. So is it fair that I have to continue paying rent? It makes me so mad that there are laws to protect the stupid meth addicts from having their privacy invaded, while everyone else's health and safety is at risk.
