Can I get out of a lease, if I have filed 3 complaints to the office?

I really want to move from the apartment I live in. the first year i lived here i had no problems, so I resigned my lease. After that, I have had someone break a window on my car and really make me feel uncomfortable here. It seems like it is nothing but problems now. I just wanted to know if I could pay like one month in advance and leave?

My complaints are all because of these guys that live 2 apartments down from me. There are 4 of them and they all come out and stare at me when I am walking to my apartment from my parking spot and our parking lot is not lit. I am actually kind of scared to come home from work and they have done nothing about it

Sorry for your bad luck but you are committed to the contract you signed. If you break the lease they will likely sue you which will hurt your credit and make it tough for you to get an apartment in future.

Most leases say that the leasor is not responsible for damage to personal property, so that inand of itself is not enough reason to break the lease. Your reasons must be valid to something that th eleasor is responsible for...ie. the fridge broke and they refuse to fix it, you have a saftey hazard like posts missing from your balcony, your AC or heat quit working.

It isn't your leasor's responsibility to make you feel safe, that is your responsibility. You don't say what the other complaints are for, so based on what you have said I don't think you have grounds to break lease.

Your lease should tell you what you have to pay if you cancel the contract.

When you file these complaints, make sure you do it via certified mail. And if you need to move because somebody is bothering you, you may have to file a police report, to have proof there is a problem.

After you send certified mail, walk into the leasing office and talk to the manager. They should have some answers for you then.

Hope that helps!@

You have signed a valid lease which is apparently legal and binding. The apartment ownership will expect you to honor the lease to its full term. If there is no terminology in your lease specifying options for terminating the lease, you will be held responsible for the rent on your unit until it is re-rented, plus any costs incurred on the owner's part to procure a new tenant.

I see many questions in this forum similar to yours and wonder why rental tenants expect that landlords are responsible to make them feel safe. Think of it THIS way. If each of the tenants in your building OWNED their own units, to whom would you complain if you did not feel safe ? Would you expect the mortgage company to cancel your mortgage because you did not feel safe where you lived ?
