No! I am a Realtor. Everyone has the right to safe housing. If someone broke into your apt., you have every right to vacate the property and demand the landlord let you out the lease. Would anyone in their right mind expect your to stay for another go of it? Please stick to your principles and tell the next landlord you spoke to a Realtor and they told you to get out and don't take any more chances for your own piece of mind and safety. You call also tell the new landlord you were so afraid that you could not sleep at night. End of problem, you will be fine. So please do not worry, this will NOT be held against you. Marie

Depends on what the landlord reports about you and how you broke the lease. There is no statute which allows you to terminate a lease because 'you don't feel safe'. Assuming that the landlord provided at least standard locks, etc. to your living premises, he didn't violate the lease.
Think of it this way. If you had purchased a house and someone broke into it, would you expect the lender to allow you out of your mortgage because 'you do not feel safe' ?
If your landlord reports you as breaking a lease incorrectly and sues you for the remainder of the lease, you won't win in a court of law.
I don't know where Marie (above) gets her information from, but she's dead wrong. A valid lease is exactly that.

This will depend on the leasing company you next go to. Many check credit reports, and some will report to credit agencies if you have broken a lease.
If you happen to run in to this situation, then you may need to explain what happened and why. Unless the person you are dealing with absolutely will not take extenuating circumstances in to consideration, you shouldnt have an issue.

In maximum states police ought to checklist calls won and if officers have been sent to inspect the scene of a criminal offense. you may ask the police branch in the event that they have it; they'd grant you with the run around. in case you have a chum it particularly is a police officer he are able that may assist you out with that. Did the leasing workplace supervisor positioned it in writing which you will no longer ought to pay for the door? The greater you have in writing the better. Do you have any photos which could coach the door grew to become into knotted up formerly broken in? Did you point out on the pass in/out record that the door grew to become into no good? different persons be responsive to on the subject of the door situation besides lady chum. If no workplace work, no photos, no witnesses then no success.

I work as a leasing consultant in San Diego, It is not held against you if you break your lease, It would only be held against you if you were asked to leave or evicted. Most properties do offer lease break options!

As long as you discussed your concerns with your landlord and met the conditions of your lease when you broke it, you should be fine.
If you bailed on your landlord - don't use them as a reference.

I wouldn't think so, if you always have that police report. If the other apartment complex gives a bad reference, you may have grounds to sue them.
