How can I get out of my lease if my neighbors are intolerably noisy, I have confronted them, as has my buildin

Question

manager but to no avail. The building manager offered to let us move to other apartments in the building but at higher rents and they will not help with costs. Once I am paying moving costs I may as well move elsewhere for a better price.

I am in CA. The biggest prob is that the walls are so thin and the neighbor snores so loudly the walls shake. This keeps me up until I either quit the bedroom and go to the couch or I am too exhausted to hear it anymore. I am paying $1300 for a one bedroom which is just a bit steep to have this issue

Answer 1

I had the same problem when I lived in a rowhouse in Pasadena.

My neighbor sounded like a darned buzzsaw. I turned the TV on in my bedroom just loud enough to drown them out. It took me a few days to adjust to the TV but I did.

A week later, there was a note on my door to keep my TV turned down during sleeping hours.

I responded with a note saying that my TV was loud to drown out their snoring.

They switched bedrooms that day.

Answer 2

a lease is generally not worth the paper it is written on and the costs to force you to conform to it's decree far outweigh the benefits of your landlord letting you leave and finding a new tenant. Make sure you do not pay rent before you move so you can reclaim your security deposit before you move. It will not be refunded, trust me.
The best way to make your point would be to call local law enforcement when the neighbors get out of hand. Your landlord is not going to go to great lengths to help you as it is in his best interest to have two paying tenants. Make sure you know the local laws of disturbing the peace and you call when the neighbors are in direct violation of the law, otherwise you will be treated as a busybody in need of a life and your complaints will not be taken seriously.
Without knowing your state I cannot find you your local legal rights.

Answer 3

Review your lease agreement. Unless your landlord agrees in writing to change the terms of the lease and let you move, you probably won't be able to get out of it. Noisy neighbors aren't a reason that a landlord would allow you to break your lease.

Answer 4

check your lease....I bet theres a sentence or two about enjoyment of area free from noise after a certain hour..If there is ........then you might have the right to break lease...But make sure you complain often about noise after the hours stated and keep tract of the days and times you call management..Im a landlord i know theres this in most leases....Dot your "I's" and cross your "T's"...and good luck

Answer 5

It depends. Does your neighbor own their place too? If so, complain to your landlord. If he/she doesn't fix it within a REASONABLE time, you can move out and use constructive eviction as a defense if he sues. This, as always, depends on your local state laws.

Answer 6

lol, just complain to him over and over, or maybe if it gets real bad, once in a while call the cops, that helps.
