Best Answer

You can, so long as you can document that there is in fact a serious rodent problem (and by serious, you fear for your health or safety) and that you've notified the landlord and given him a chance to fix the problem. Once you've satisfied that (and you can do that in a couple days), you can break the lease. The landlord may sue you for breach of the lease, but you'd have a pretty good case, so long as it's atrue rodent problem and not a mouse here or there.

No you can't. There are grounds for breaking a lease but the fact that inspectors are continually coming out to the property is not one of them. You will need to show that your life or health is in danger before you can legally break a lease.

Can you break your lease if they break into your apartment?

If your landlord breaks into your apartment or enters it without notifying you, this is grounds to break a lease. You can't break a lease just because there was a break in, however. Landlords are not even legally required to tell you if you are moving into a high crime area. If you can prove this is an ongoing and pervasive problem , it may be grounds to break your lease. Get real documentation, not just hearsay.Police reports and other victims or witnesses.
