Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Tennessee

Can we get out of our lease?

We moved into ''luxury'' Apartments in June, signing a 1 year lease. In August we had a young woman move into the apartment above us. We understand there are noises you cannot help hear or make living in apartments, but since she moved in, it has been a constant. Banging on the floors, parties, even having sex on the floor, which is very loud. We have complained to the management, even called the police, yet she still gets loud. My 8 year old daughter is getting into trouble at school for falling asleep because she cannot rest at night. Please, can we get out of our lease?

Re: Can we get out of our lease?

Under the facts you have given, the apartment does not satisfy its intended purpose. I believe the lessor will voluntarily agree to let you out of the lease rather than go to court and have you testify as to the noise levels and then lose in court.
