Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Re: Breaking a lease

Generally you can't. One situtation you can is when the conditions of the lease hold are so horrible as to make it impossible to satsify the purpose of the lease, this is the concept of constructive eviction.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
