I live in a second floor apartment in NJ. My downstairs neighbor constantly blasts music and stomps around and slams his doors deliberately. And I do mean deliberately, since he is pretty threatening. I have asked him twice to turn down his music, but neither time worked, and the second time, he told me to stop walking up and down the stairs. So, I contacted the management and they apparently sent him a letter telling him to stop. It didn't. I called the police, it didn't stop (they never seem to really help). But now he's starting to threaten me and my boyfriend, who doesn't even live here. Is there anything I can do to get out of this lease (which is up at end of May) based on these threats? Can I legally keep it but not live here? I fear for my safety (and basically everyone else's) and my health (since I'm epileptic and the stress of this isn't helping me). I have a cosigner on this lease, so I don't want to just up and ruin his credit too. Any way out?
