I might be worth contacting a lawyer for a consult.聽 What does it say about breaking a lease in your rental agreement?

Leases are broken all the time BUT there can be consequences.聽 Does your lease stipulate the services THEY聽 must provide?聽 IF they have broken the lease, document it and get out if you feel unsafe.聽 Otherwise,聽 you are going to need to consult a good lawyer. What area are you in?

Sounds like a good place to get out of!聽 Does not sound safe at all.
