Is there a legal way to get out of my lease?(in texas)?


the apartment complex i live in is a disaster zone. They have decided to convert the units for sale and have begun demolition even though 50% of residents still live here. Every morning construction workers wake us up with banging on the walls(apt next door) and they sound like they might come thru the wall. this goes on from 8 am till 6 pm.monday thru friday, and even on saturdays too!!!They have trashed the whole complex, there's construction materials EVERYWHERE. The workers have no regard for the current tenants or our safety(they left two of the demo'd apts wide open all night last night)The office has officially "closed" and is no longer accepting any package mail for anyone. In short its absolutely terrible and we've got to get out of here. I do not feel safe here any longer, and have heard about break ins and suspicious persons with guns around. What can we legally do to get out here?

we don't have a property manager anymore. they closed the office completely and there is only a "part time " maintenance guy!!

It is child's play for a real-estate lawyer to break a lease for you, but don't do it yourself. They don't charge much but doing it legally can save you a lot of $$$ and legal trouble afterwards.

When the lawyer does it, it's no muss, no fuss. I used to be a reporter and we did a lot of items on "horror" rented apartments and houses. Our intreprid help guru would tell them what to do in his column.

But even if it's a palace the lawyer can break the lease for you. A lease isn't worth the paper it's written on as far as enforcing payment for the full term IF you get it voided by a LAWYER. And the owner can not by law move until you have failed to pay. So keep current with your rent, see the lawyer, and move out at the end of the month.

ps, if you have already paid April's rent you can move out the day or the day after you see the lawyer. He'll give you a call and tell you that the lease has been legally voided. You will be entitled to your last month's rent back because of the construction. It violates the "quiet enjoyment" law that exists in all 50 states. But I wouldn't hold my breath. That's why lawyers can break any lease. Any noisy neighbor gives him the legal grounds (as well as 100 different regulations written into the law). These provisions apply even if the neighbour does not live in a property owned by your landlord.

Take your written lease to a realestate attorney and ask him .
That will cost you about $35 dollars and worth every penny.

Have you brought these concerns up with your property manager yet?

Move
To hell with the lease
