killowen05 | Daughters apt. burglarized can she terminate lease agreement? |
My daughter walked into her apt. and found two young burglars there. She confronted them and they took her friends stuff not my daughters. She was threatened by one of the burglars that they would kill her if she told the police. She told the police and will not go back to the apt. Has she got rights to cancel the lease. |

not inless them thieves were related to somebody in the building, and there had been a string of them in the neighborhood......then maybe....... |

I do not practice landlord/tenant law, but my instinct tells me that yes - she may have some rights in this situation. Under common law, residential tenants have the right to a living area that is "habitable" and also the right to "quiet enjoyment." One would have to know more about the situation (the neighborhood, the precautions taken by the landlord, the security, etc.), but this is something worthy of consulting a landlord/tenant law expert on if the landlord is unwilling to make some voluntary redress here. Good luck and be thankful that it sounds like nobody was physically hurt. |

Depends on what the apt building represented. If they said to your daughter its impossible that your apt can be entered and these are the reasons why..... And put it in the lease and she rented the apt for that reason, hell yes she can cancel it.
But for the most part they dont guarantee that, its like going to your mortgage company and saying I want out of my mortgage because my house flooded. The mortgage company is going to say *what the hell did I do? live up to your agreement... not my job*
Unless it was their fault she was robbed, she cant get out of her lease. They might make a deal with you over it, but legally I dont see them liable for anything. (not an attorney)
Im sorry for what she went through and I get why she doesnt want to go back, I wouldnt either. But it might just cost her extra or maybe she can tell the story to another Apt complex that will cut her a deal over it.
I just dont see her walking away. |

not really, though a lawyer might be able to scare the landlord. |

Yes she does have rights - both parties (apt. manager and the leaser) can terminate a lease instantly on the spot in instances of violence or health. Clearly a death threat is an issue of violence! If one feels that their life is threatened, they have this right.
My question is, why did they only take her friend's stuff and not hers??? That's weird. |

Tell your daughter to go where she feels safe and forget about some piece of paper she signed.
This place is out of control. |

depending on where you live, check into renting laws. u may be able to find another reason to get out of the lease that the law has control over.... but ur chances of getting out of it are slim. |

Probably not. I am sorry to hear she went through this. |

NO, this is not a property or landlord problem. She will be responsible to live up to the terms of her lease agreement |
|

As far as i know the only way she could get out of her lease is if the landlord could have prevented this burglary, if in some way he is responsible, like if a contract says you will have a door man and there isn't one, or the door of the apt building is suppose to be lock and it wont lock, ,it would half to directly land on the negligence of the apt building or manager |
|

Not unless she can prove the landlord was negligent....if it is just a robbery...you can not fault the landlord if he gave what is called for in your area by law.... |
