No, but you can put your rent money into an escrow account until they repair and clean up the place. They will try to evict you, but can't do it...then you would go to court and the judge would decide whether or not you have to pay the landlord and keep the responsibility of the rental, or if you can leave the property and break the lease.

It relies upon on how undesirable those circumstances are. each so often you are able to wreck your lease with little or no economic penalty. yet in many situations, you are able to't wreck a lease with no valid reason. you may examine your lease and notice what the words are related to kitchen home equipment and maintenance. deliver them an authorized letter demanding maintenance be made for the dishwasher. If not something is executed interior of a certian timeframe, then say you will take criminal action and sue them in small claims courtroom. Take photos of the dishwasher and problematical factors. in case you bypass to courtroom, take the photos and your lease with you. you additionally can prefer to locate some construction code violations interior of your condo. inclusive of undesirable wiring, handrails, smoke alarms, lacking or broken cover plates to any shops, shape and wood of the construction. If landlord has violated any of those, he could be stated and fined or perhaps bypass to penitentiary.

If your dwelling is unlivable and its a building issue, not something you created then yes. However I would warn you you first must give Landlord chance to resolve problem and I would make sure you document this. Take pictures and video with narrative describing problem. Landlord is obligated to provide a clean safe dwelling in exchange for rent if he has not met that requirement then yes you can leave before lease expiration. BTW you have not broke lease Landlord has with unlivable living conditions. It would be easier if you had told us what was wrong. "unsanitary living conditions" could be something you did and could be your issue be sure its not your doing that caused problem even in small way before taking action.

There is a process that you must go through. It will depend on the state you are living in. But I think you have to put a repair request in writing to your landlord. They have so many days to fix it. If they dont fix it you are allowed to do the repairs yourself and take that amount off from your rent etc. I believe you are allowed to spend up to one months rent on repairs.
If your landlord does not respond to the request for repairs start making notes. If nothing is done than you can probably break your lease.

It's dependant on the situation? Are you refering to no running water, bad plumbing etc? Or are you just not cleaning the place up? Dependant on the situtation, the Landlord is responsible for the building (including plumbing and major appliances associated with the building)
As far as bugs (except in some apartments, though you can spray for bugs as well) trash in your house, etc...that's your job.

depends on state law, but in most states I know of, you must notify your landlord in writing of the condition and give some amount of time for correction.
If you don't get some response with a certain amount of time, you can also file a complaint with the city in which you live.
You might have to research a little bit - but most citys and states have the complete answers to these questions online.
