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.
No.
That depends on the wording of the lease.
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.

No. The problem was not caused by the landlord.
You can get out of a lease but there is always a penalty. Usually you have to pay aat least a months rent plus an additional charge. Some properties can charge you for the rest of the lease. That means if you have six months left on your lease then you owe six months rent!
Once you line up some legal resources, investigate the terms your lease to see if there's any clause that provides you with an opportunity to break lease early.Then check out the guide from www.apartmentleasebreakers.com. This guide has helped a bunch of my friends break their apartment lease by discovering the major loopholes in leasing contracts. Good Luck
Im pretty sure you can in every state! But you have to pay a fee. For example, in Colorado if you break a lease, it is at least $200.
Not unless you can prove that there is A pattern of break ins that existed before you moved in, and you had no knowledge of it.
Yes, but you'll owe any penalty.
Unless you can prove that there is meth, and that your landlord is cooking it, you have little basis for terminating your lease. You need to call the police.
no you might not be able to break the lease because i tried to do that once when i had problems with my apartment and if you do you have to pay the rent for the months you made the lease for its expensive trust me i had to pay a 4 month lease witch was $3200.00 !!!!!!!!! so im sorry to say this but if u want to pay $3200.00 go ahead i would recommend u to just stay there for as long as u did ur lease for? sorry about that
