Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

If you have repeatedly, and in writing, complained to the management or owner of the property, AND you can document the conduct of the neighbors, then you can send a notice to your landlord that you consider him/her to be in breach of the implied convenant of quiet enjoyment and/or that the landlord is knowingly allowing a nuisance to continue which affects your right of quiet enjoyment of your apartment. Indicate in your notice that based upon the landlord's breach of the lease agreement, you are electing to terminate the lease and move. Be prepared that the landlord with withhold your security deposit, and likely sue you for breach of lease damages, but if you can prove that the landlord was in breach of your lease by allowing this conduct, you may prevail and owe nothing. These aren't the easiest cases to win, so you would be very well served to hire a tenant right's attorney in your area to represent you and guide you through the process.
