I believe you can break the lease. It is easy to find a sympathetic doctor and even easier to find a sympathetic judge. In this case you will have to take your landlord to court and sue him to break the lease. This is a quality of life issue. Your landlord can argue that he/she cannot do anything about the smoking. You argue that the smoking is affecting the quality of your life and health and have a written medical opinion to that effect. The judge will likely rule that yes, the landlord cannot control the habits of his/her tenants; and yes, if your health and/or quality of life is in question then the landlord can find another tenant. Lease terminated. People often make the assertion that breaking a lease is the hardest thing in the world. It isn't. And yes, it is a contract between you and your landlord and you should try to work out a reasonable alternative with your landlord before going to court. But remember that a contract is not a one way street. You have obligations to your landlord and your landlord, by contract of the lease, has obligations to you. Court should be the course of last resort. When breaking a lease, it is often necessary to nullify it legally, for the sake of your peace of mind and monetary liability.

∙ 12y agoYes you can. Its called contructive eviction and it is perfectly legal to do so. If I were you, I would call in the local board of health and have them do an inspection to legally declare the house uninhabitable. You may also be eligible for relocation assistance from your landlord.

How often does your landlord legally have to rewire your house?
The landlord does not have to do any rewiring for you. The landlord has the obligation to make the place basically habitable. That's all. If the severe problems affect the usability of the house, like having no lights, getting shocks, or the heaters not working, you can force the landlord to deal with it. Much simpler, though, is to move. Having livability issues with the house may be grounds to break the lease in your state.

Is it normal for a mother to not do things like cook dinner or clean the house but she complains about the things she has to do?
No. Most mothers are ready and willing to devote long hours to caring for their families and their homes. They do, however, need as much help as possible so that they are not overburdened, because stress can cause various health problems. Occasionally mothers may revert to caring only about themselves, but this is not a normal situation and can be a cause for concern. A medical or mental health professional can give you more information about medical problems, such as depression, that can cause unusual behavior in otherwise healthy mothers.
