We need to break lease due to repairs not being done. Is our lease valid? and how can we get our securit deposit back?

Re: Switching of property management and my lease

Your new property manager is still bound by the lease you signed as is the owner of the property. When repairs are not being done you must serve a 3 day notice requiring the landlord to fix the problems, if they affect your hearing, plumbing, reasonable waterproofing, electriclal, and sanitary facilities. See Idaho Code section 6-320. Failure to fix the same within the 3 days of service of your 3 day notice leaves the landlord liable to you for triple damages if you are damaged by his failure to fix these things within the three day time period. Then you can sue him and get a trial within 12 days of the time you file your complaint to bring him to trial for damages.
