Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Oklahoma

Apartment Lease Breaking

Husband, 15 month old daughter and I moved into student graduate housing.

Before we moved in we were told several times it was a quiet area. This is why

we decided to move in. A week after we moved in the upstairs neighbor was

constantly causing problems with noise. We complained several times.

Eventually he moved over to the undergrad apartments. Now we have a new

neighbor who is even louder than the previous. He has a young child who is

running back and forth all the time and he is military and is up everyday @

6am and for 2 consecutive hrs we hear stomp! boom! bang! this rattles our

dishes wakes us up and our daughter. We are getting no sleep my husband

has missed several classes and i have failed several tests and missed quizzes

all together. The school states that we have the Right to Sleep and Study and

we arent getting any of that done. We asked to break our lease w/o having to

pay the 800.00 so we can move elsewhere. Is this possible?

Re: Apartment Lease Breaking

I would need to review your lease and the source of the "Right to Sleep and Study".

There is no such right in common law per se.
