Can you break an apartment lease agreement if there is domestic violence involved in the household?

This will depend on one, whether or not you live in public housing (section 8/HUD) and two, what state you are in. If you live in public housing, VAWA allows you to break your lease without any penalties. If you are not in public housing, this will depend on your state. You may want to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can direct you to an advocacy group in your state that can help you with the process and answer any questions.
