PA
My lease rolled over for 1 yr. as of 1/1/2008. However, living in my apt. has become unbearable for the following reasons: my landlord was living in the apt. above us but moved down to the basement (no insulation in the bldg. at all) he leaves the property for 24hrs. at a time leaving his music blaring all through the day & night and if its not his music its his alarm clock, also, he is constantly fighting with his wife or someone else and yelling/screaming for hours at a time at least twice a week, he was sent to jail overnight for abusing his wife (we have had to listen to abuse several times its horrible) also this weekend we had to call the cops on him for trying to abuse her again in our driveway after several hours of yelling, so loud!!! Neighbors can back this up as well as police reports. I am 4 months pregnant and just can not take it anymore its totally stressing me out. How can we get out of this lease legally? (my lease is generic and does not specifically state anything concerning the right to quiet enjoyment, but I was hoping the laws enforce that right).
