my husband and I would like to break our lease for multiple reasons. we've asked our landlord to have our upstairs neighbors to keep the noise down and every night I usually am woken up from them. Another problem is we bought a puppy about 1 and a 1/2 months ago. and just after we bought our puppy the landlords dog was diagnosed with heartworms, and about a week ago another dog got parvo, there's alot of apartments in my complex and tons of dog poop on the ground, not to mention that when i stick my dog out on his chain he somehow ends up tearing alot of of paper and candy wrappers up. Where did the wrappers and paper come from. I would like to know if there was any possible way for me to break my lease with out having to pay for the remainder.

Thank you for the answers I ended up adopting another pet for free when someone threw it out of a moving vehicle. and both of my puppies are now very ill and at the vets right now they are doing parvo tests and blood work Please pray for my puppies. They need it really bad.Thank you.

Provided that you have made numerous complaints about the noise, that should be sufficient reason to allow you to break the lease. This is called "documented proof/evidence".
Read your lease, look for a clause that talks about "right to peaceful enjoyment" or something like that. based on this language, your lease is in violation. Every tenant has a right to leave without disturbance, especially during the night for heaven's sake.
I suggest that you write a letter and mention this clause and ask them to allow you to break your lease based on this violation.
I did it and it worked for me - but I also had numerous complaints to support my request and I received my security deposit in full.
Good Luck!

Sadly these are not issues that you can use to legally break your lease with. If you had proof that the water, heat and/or electric didn't work, or living conditions were so poor that it puts you at risk for harm, then you would have a valid claim to break the lease, but noisy neighbors, and unkept dog walk areas are an age old problem with no real solution. Speak to your neighbors, and tell them you are being effected, and can they please try to keep in mind that sound travels. As far as your dog, do not let him out without you, you never know what can happen, especially if there is another animal out that may not be leashed. No animal sould be out alone. Keep track of where the problem areas are and try to stay in areas a little cleaner. God Luck!

depends on the lease you signed. sometimes they have a fee. one apartment i used to live in charged a 30 lease breaking fee if you give a 30 day notice, the one im in now charges 300! i had a friend that lived in an apartment where she was bound to pay the whole lease amount. period. i have some stuff on my website natural-pet.org (no "s") that will help prevent your pup from coming down will parvo or any other contagious illnesses. even heartworms :D

You can break your lease by a 30 day written notice with explanation that the conditions are unlivable. If you have asked on several occassions for your landlord to fix these issues and he has refused, then breaking your lease will stand with no hidden fees. The most that they can do is hold your security deposit.

The answer to your question is to be found in your written lease and in your state's laws relative to rental leases. Generally speaking, however, the reasons you have given for wanting to terminate your lease are not legally sufficient for you to terminate this lease on any terms other than those terms offered in the lease, or covered by your state's laws.

it truly is in many cases "breach of contract" damages. meaning the owner may sue you for the expenditures they are genuinely out subsequently of your breach of employ. on the flipside, the guidelines of maximum states require the owner to make a superb faith attempt to miinimize losses brought about by a breach of employ. meaning the owner might want to take a at the same time as to hit upon a sparkling tenant if a tenant breaks a employ. So, on the severe area, you would possibly want to probably be in charge for the completed employ for something else of the employ. on the low area, you would possibly want to conceivably be in charge for 0, if the owner can hit upon a sparkling employ-paying tenant on the instantaneous and subsequently does no longer lose any employ.
