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.
