Tell him to let you out or you'll report him to the authorities for allowing this occurence in his building. |

your landlord must be given a chance to rectify the situation, you cannot simply break your lease unless there is eminent danger to you. however if your landlord does nothing about the situation you are able to file suit in court because he/she has a responsibility to provide you with safe housing and to remedy any dangerous problems that are brought to there attention.
if you want to break your lease, i would go online, get a copy of your states landlord tenant acts, highlight the section(s)pertaining to tenants rights and mail it certified mail with a letter of your intent to break the lease. any sound person would either fix the problem to avoid being sued or let you out of the lease to avoid being sued.
also, does your neighbor know that you called the police, drug dealers are generally not the most civil minded people, i would be careful.
also, all landlords are not pr*cks, some tenants are though :) |

If it can be proven that there is illegal activity next door and you are at risk, then you may be able to break your contract and if the landlord takes you to small claims court, you'd have a reasonable cause for breaching the original contract and the court would most likely side with you.
Any arrests or raids on record for that house??
PS- if your landlord knows about the illegal activity and HE ALLOWS IT, tell him YOU'LL turn around and sue him if he doesn't let you out of the contract-- call the cops anyways. This would most likely be a SMALL CLAIMS action, so no lawyers needed/allowed. |

You could get out of your lease if he was running a drug house from YOUR unit. He's not, as far as I can tell. What your neighbor is doing is the business of the landlord and the police, along with the neighbor. The fact that he is probably breaking the law doesn't give you an excuse to break your lease.
You have notified the proper authorities. Allow them to deal with it. |

Well this might be a good way out. I know where I live (AZ) you can go to city services and ask about "codes" and how you can go about it when you know the house your living in is violating standard city codes. You can have someone professional that does that to inspect the home and once the report is in your hands you can threaten them about reporting it to the city,which for them it would be fines after fines if not fixed. Had friend do the same once and it worked, she left about 4 months early. If that doesn't work if you have a video camera record your neighbors, showing evidence of drug trafficking to the cops is more significant then saying what is happening,chances are they'll investigate it and you'll have them out sooner.Good Luck! |

FIRST, get some proof of the neighboring drug activity ... maybe you can secretly film some stuff through your window and/or check with the police for any known drug/crime activity at the neighboring address? THEN, write a letter to your landlord and send it certified, informing him that you will be moving out on such and such a date due to unsafe neighborhood conditions. There ARE legal grounds for breaking a lease. I think he does have the right to first try and re-mediate the problem, but unless he owns the drug house, he can't do much more than call the police? Afterward, if he tries to sue you, let him ... he will lose, IF you have substantial and convincing evidence intact. I'd probably consult with a decent attorney or call your local city or county offices to find out if there is a governmental department that assists with Tennant's rights. |

First thing you do is, you call the cops. Then after they bust up the dope ring next door, you go to your legal aid society with the reports of the action and ask 'em to help you get out of the lease so you can get outa there. |

1st and foremost, call the police! have copies of every report made against this neighbor ( the police will print you a report for every time they have been called to that address). Second call your landlord, he may be unaware of what is going on. With the reports you provide to him, he can file for eviction based on the criminal activity going on.
He does not, however, have to allow you out of your lease. Nor does he have to make you any promises of safety like some of the other people on here will say. A landlord cannot, by law, promise that any house or apartment is safe. By doing so they open themselves up to law-suites when something does happen to the tenant. |

get a lawer your landlord must not know the conduct of renting out houses u are sposd to be in no danger at all and look at the lease (carefully ) there is always loopholes b 4 u get a lawer, ask ur landlord, if he says no then get one, after u get a lawer explain every thing to the lawer, go to the landlord with ur lawer present beside you and let ur lawer to the rest Hopes this helps :) |

If you are aware of the illegal activities and have informed your landlord, you might want to remind him that his duplicity is a crime as well and suggest that if you are stuck in the lease you might be forced to inform the cops about him too. A veiled threat might work, but your next door neighbors illegal activities isn't just cause for you to break your lease. Sorry. In the mean time be careful! |

You can't break a lease just because your neighbors are criminals. You CAN however call the cops from a pay phone three cities over to report the drug dealers to the cops. |

Landlords are generally pr*cks who will quote the letter of the law on a lease. They don't care about you - only getting the money.
So no, unless you want to bail on the lease I don't think you have much recourse - other than to call the cops on your neighbors.
