Re: termination of a lease
The failure to maintain the property in a livable condition is possible grounds for breaking the lease. What the outcome would ultimately be is, however, uncertain. Another question that you might consider is whether the apartment complex has any liability for failure to provide security in the parking lot and the rape you suffered.
