Can I break a lease if I don’t feel safe?
You can always break a lease. But you are really asking if you can break the lease without consequence, and get your deposit back. Probably not.Now, if you can show specific evidence as to why you don't feel safe. Maybe.Say, if you have had multiple break ins. Or if a neighbor, who had the same landlord, is threatening you and the landlord takes no action. Those things might get you out of the lease.But generally, it takes a deficiency in the actual property that the landlord refuses to address, to get you out of the lease.Coming to the realization that you live in a dangerous neighborhood is something you should have discovered before leasing a property.None of that means that your landlord won't allow you out of the lease. But I don't think a court would find in your favor.

Student housing and i need to break a lease?
I am a college student living in knoxville tn. I signed a lease at Gateway Apartments which is advertised as student housing. Well, about 3 months ago they moved a 50 year old man into my apartment that is not a college student. He works for a construction company. Its definitely not something I am comfortable with. My roommate and myself chose to move into these apartments cause they were cheaper. We didnt mind having 2 roommates we didnt know because we did that our freshman year. So my question is can I break the lease due to this break in trust.
Can I break my lease if there are mice in my apartment building?
Yes. All residential tenants have an implied warrantee of “habitability” included with their lease. Furthermore, most states have rental and/or sanitation or health codes which require the removal of “vermin” in a leased residential apartment or home. Generally speaking, the presence of mice in a leased dwelling unit is a violation of the lease on the part of the landlord. If the landlord fails to cure the violation condition after due notice and due process is given, then the lease can be terminated (broken) by the tenant without penalty. Moreover, the landlord may then be subject to damages and other penalties in a civil action for its failure to perform under the lease agreement, and/or an administrative action for violation of rental or health/sanitation laws. However, as a practical matter, vermin conditions in multifamily buildings are generally not serious problems and are considered “manageable” with exterminations, traps, and other common methods of removal. Thus, only if the condition rises to the level of an “infestation” would the premises be considered uninhabitable and/or a violation of health or sanitation laws. Occasional encounters with mice in an apartment is generally not a problem and certainly not a basis to break a lease, but the constant presence of mice (and their droppings) present unacceptable health risks, especially in dwellings where children are present, and would indeed constitute a basis to break a lease (again assuming the landlord has been given due notice and reasonable opportunity to address the problem).
