I live in Texas and rent a house with two roommates. One of the roommates lives in a sizable room that was built as an addition on the house. The problem is the foundation was not laid well and the room is sinking and warping. The room is tilting in one direction and there is a very noticeable wave in the parquet floor (the floor has peaks and valleys that are 1 foot apart which makes it look like a wave). It's bad enough that the bed can slip in one direction or another as the legs are sitting on the sides of the waves.
The lease ends next August but this issue is getting worse extremely fast.
The question is, does the landlord have a legal responsibility to fix this and do we have a right to break the lease. When we leased the house originally this problem was not apparent so "the situation has changed"
