Best Answer

This depends: if you can demonstrate that there is a history of criminal activities, and one of which you are a victim of that type of criminal activity, then you might be able to break the lease. Keep in mind that any time you break a lease your landlord could keep the deposit. But if you break the lease for constructive reasons, such as the fact that your landlord is not doing enough to keep the property secure, safe, and decent, then you can sue the landlord for your deposit back and probably win.

However, if you want to break a lease simply because you are victim of a crime that occurred on the property, that reason alone will probably not be a legal excuse.

A victim is not just a victim. The victim will be the State's number 1 witness, as the victim of the crime. Police need an eyewitness identification of whether a person is or is not the one who committed the crime. However, usually this question is NOT spoken. Instead, the police use a lineup of innocent persons along with one suspect.
