Problem with our 1 year leased apartment.?
My boyfriend and I signed a lease moving into an apartment in July of this year. The lease is for one year. However, there is a terrible problem with this apartment.
First things first. The building is what looks like a house that was remodeled and split into four small apartments. We were given a tour of the apartments, all one bedroom, before we moved in. When we moved in we were told by the old tenants of this particular one, who moved only across the hall, that the drains were slow. No big deal, right? Until each and every time we showered, by 2 minutes in, we were up to our ankles in water.
The landlord did absolutely nothing about this. He claimed that it had been snaked and nothing he has done in the past had fixed this. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WE SIGNED THE LEASE. My father actually made a 45 minute trip here feeling terribly for us and poured different acids down the drain and dismantled the tub to allow it to drain. He did fix it, and what he discovered when he did this was that there was a mesh catch at the beginning of the drain that was originally there and had never been tampered with. There is no way that the drain could have ever been snaked because of this.
Our second problem? We were not aware before we moved in and signed the lease that the woman next door is on house arrest.
Thirdly, shortly after we moved in, the last apartment directly below us was filled. These are all one bedroom apartments, mind you. Right now there are four boys living down there who constantly invite over their friends. There have been countless fights and the police have been called on more than one occasion, few times by myself and my boyfriend. We have complained and nothing has been done. At any given moment you will walk downstairs and find them hanging out in the hall, on the porch, or in the doorways.
Other problems? This is a smoke free building. The tenants in all the apartments other than ours will try to smoke out of the windows and have been seen by us multiple times smoking in the hallways. We have witnessed the kids directly below us smoking pot, when we told the landlord he simply claimed it was too hard a process to kick them out and that he was "getting his rent money anyway."
And possibly the worst of all. As my boyfriend was coming home one day someone who doesn’t even live here, but hangs out with the kids downstairs, asked my boyfriend to buy drugs off of him. When my boyfriend refused and stated he didn’t do such things, the man followed him up to our apartment door and continued to knock on it for minutes after he had closed the door in the guys face.
We just got accepted into a new complex that is much more friendly, quiet, and understanding…not to mention more spacious and cheaper at that. We’ve been in this apartment for 3 months. Is there any possible way we can break this lease? Can he take us for an entire years rent, even though he’s proved himself to be a terrible landlord and this place is unlivable? What is the best bet for us to do?
Either way we need to leave here. It’s got us at our wits end, and I’m scared to be here alone when I have to be. What advice can be given to us at this point? We have not informed our landlord that we are leaving as of yet because we just were accepted today.
Any help would be appreciated.
I also just want to add that these kids downstairs have on more than one occasion assaulted some of the girls they have brought home. Cops will break it up, but then tell us to contact our landlord who does nothing.
They are constantly partying downstairs, breaking bottles, smoking pot. Doors are constantly slamming, things being thrown. They’ve gotten into fights with eachother and some have locked others out intentionally, which causes the others to go through the entire building screaming at them to open the door, pounding on walls.
This is a very uncomfortable place that we are paying 475$ a month for. The new place is much better and only 420$ a month, the only problem is that if our landlord can take us for the rest of the years rent when we leave, we will not be able to afford ANYWHERE to go.
Regarding "policing our neighbors"…we are not. It’s simply hard to miss! It says there in the lease that the building is smoke free and someone downstairs is on oxygen. If it’s smoke free, how can they be allowed to smoke?
And as for calling the cops, as I said, we have called multiple times.
YOU didn’t do your Due Diligence. Time to check out an apartment is Before you sign the lease. Run water in sink and tub, flush toilet. Your failure to thoroughly check it out doesn’t mean you can get out of the lease without repercussions. You can break the lease, but there are legal and financial repercussions. The apartment is Not uninhabitable by legal standards, or by standards set out in your lease–READ it. You are likely to lose your security deposit for breaking your lease, so the more notice you give LL, and the more you cooperate in showing it and finding a replacement tenant, the more likely you are to not be held for rent for months.
Call local housing, zoning to report the number of people in the house. Only two adults per BR, so it sounds like entirely too many people in most units.

These don’t sound like legitimate reasons to move, other than possibly the drugs activity, and you would need to prove that.
You could have called code enforcement if there are 4 boys in a 1 br unit and probably rectified that situation. If code can’t do anything, how is the landlord supposed to? I’ve had that problem as a landlord and you can’t stop people from having friends over. it sucks, but that’s what you get when you love in any multi family building. there is always someone that is causing someone else grief.
And yes, you could get stuck for all the remaining 9 months rent, but only if the landlord tries to rent the apartment and can’t.
Chances are he’ll just keep your security deposit and find someone else. Court is such a hassle most slumlords like yours don’t bother.
So, just move and take your chances, and tell him why….and gather all the proof you can to prove the place is not habitable…Take pictures!

1. they had no legal obligation to tell you anything about any previous problems with the drain. If it is working now then you have not case here.
2. Not only do they not have any obligation to tell you anything about any of the neighbors it is bordering on illegal if they did! The neighbor being on house arrest has NOTHING to do with you or your lease!
3. Re: the down stairs tenants. SO WHAT?! If they are disturbing the piece or breaking the law then call the cops.
4. Re: Smoking - Again SO WHAT?! Why do you think it is your job to police your neighbors?
5. Landlords are NOT responsible for crime in the area. The drug offer could happen any were.
None of that makes it legally unlivable. You have no legal grounds to break your lease. You will have to pay what ever lease break fees are stated in your lease.
EDIT: Iregardless of the no smoking policy my point is that it is NOT your job to enforce it. If the landlord does not enforce their own rules there is nothing you can do about it.

You are bound by your lease. Expect to pay rent for the next 6 months. You have no grounds to void your current lease.
