Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
does tenant have right to break lease agreement
In lease agreement 60 day notice was do from tenant when leaving apartment. Do to loud noise of landlord, police were called to landlords apartment by tenant, for disturbance call. Next day tenant moved out, but still owed 1 month rent. The landlord re-rented the apartment, and will not allow old tenant access to utilities. Even thought a 60 day notice was needed by tenant, and the landlord re-rented the apsrtment to new landlords, is the tenant still responsible for remander of months rent?

Re: does tenant have right to break lease agreement
Your question is not clear. I assume that under the circumstances you outlined you are asking can a tenant be held liable for the balance of a lease where the Landlord suffers no loss. In the event the landlord mitigates his damages, the tenant is not liable for the balance of the lease to the extent the Landlord suffered no loss. A tenant has the right to quiet enjoyment of his property. It is not clear how long the problem has continued. I suggest you consult with legal counsel as it is difficult to understand your question.
