Can you break your lease if there is multiple shootings at your residence and possible involvement with other tenants?
It is the landlord's responsibility to ensure tenants' safety, as well as "reasonable enjoyment" of their rental unit. Therefore, if you feel you are in danger from other tenants, and your landlord will not remove those tenants, you have the right to move out. HOWEVER, be sure you give your landlord WRITTEN notice stating your reasons for moving, and backing those reasons up with documentation! In fact, I would suggest you contact a lawyer specializing in landlord/tenant issues for further advice.
Can a tenant rent out their apartment?
That's called subleasing, and it's frowned upon by the landlord, whose intentions in renting out the apartment is that he rents it to his lawful tenants, not to sub-tenants. You can be evicted if you break this rule on the lease.
What does the landlord require to do after a tenant dies from health issues in the home before renting it out again?
The landlord must prepare the unit for rent as he would if the tenant moved out. In some states, if a tenant dies in the unit of a homicide or suicide, or was found in advanced decomp, the Landlord must state this to the potential tenant if such death occurred within the past eighteen months before any tenants move in, or the tenant can break the lease and sue the landlord for omission of a material fact.

In most cases you cannot. The landlord expects you to be a law abiding citizen. If you know you are getting incarcerated the landlord may let you break the lease because they would rather have some notice so they can line up prospective tenants.

Can a landlord use a video camera when entering tenants apartment against tenants will?
absolutely not!!! Unless you have a court order and police escort. If you do (or did) the tenants can bring criminal charges against you. If they report a theft or break-in and they find out you've even thought or asked this, the finger will go to you and they have proof. You can't erase this message. Quite possible they could sue (all your tenants could because you didn't specify whom or where) just for the inquiry for invasion of privacy.

Can your landlord break your lease do to a sale?
Check your laws.
What can you do if my landlord doesn't set rules to keep problems from happening between tenants?
Basically, the landlord does not have to set specific rules to address problems between tenants. If one tenant is having problems with another tenant, this is treated as a problem between neighbors, which may be handled in civil court or criminal court depending on what type of problem is occurring. However, the landlord does have the duty to provide a safe, decent, and sanitary home for his tenant to live in. If the landlord fails to do this, the tenant may move out and break his lease under the constructive eviction clause. Normally a standard lease will have a clause which states that tenant must not conduct himself in any manner that poses a threat to the peace of the community or the property. This clause often includes the landlord has the right to evict him if the police are called and he is arrested for such breach.
