Best Answer

If the homocides are not related (e.g. not the same crime/crime scene), you can allege that the landlord has failed to provide safe and liveable accomodations in contravention of the lease (implied or written -- no-one means to rent a house on the edge of a cliff).

First though, you need to write to the landlord (registered, return receipt requested), advise him of your concerns, and ask him to correct the defect. This can mean putting up fences, cameras, lights, hiring a security company, etc. If he compromises you'll have a harder time breaking the lease. If, however, he refuses all your suggestions, this makes it more likely the court will uphold your declaration that the landlord violated the terms of the lease.

If he fixes things -- check it out -- it might be safe enough.

If he doesn't, write to him and explain how the court hearing will go. Be calm and nice, and DONT threaten with ANYTHING at all -- not even a court case! Odds are he'll let you go.
