Help breaking lease

[JaxCougar]

I need to move-my apartment does nothing. My toilet was broken for 3 months before they fixed it, now my roommate's is broken.
The neighbors leave trash everywhere and no one bothers to pick it up. Im tired of seeing the police a couple times a month.
I cant even open my hood without them getting pissy, but the hispanic guy and the black guy a building over regularly work on their cars and leave messes-oil stains in the parking lot and such.

Unfortunately the lease is still on for like 8 more months (we got the shortest term they would give us, we also tried to move last time it was up but I had just lost my job).

Does anyone know where I can find what I have to do the legally break my lease and not lose tons of money in the process? Im going to have to have some cash for a deposit on the new place.

I find that offensive that you have to say hispanic or black. All you had to say was other neighbors are working on there cars and they dont say anything. Neways if you have issues with them. you can do two things. One, Look in the yello bages , or the Blue pages for Land lord Tenant problems or it might be laws or something. You could talk to a lawyer and get them involved. Or you can open an escrow account through either your bank or go downtown and speak i believe to the clerk of cercuit courts or to the actual court house and talk to them about an escrow account. What that account does is you put your monthly Rent in there and if they dont fix the problems by a certain amount of days. You get to keep the money instead of them, and you dont get charged that months rent.

Can your work do anything for you....or better yet, WOULD they do anything for you?

If you can prove to the apartment association/landlord that you are being relocated and you need to move, they must legally let you out of your lease with no penalties. I did this back in 97, when I moved back from Naples, where I had lived for just under a year. I wanted to move back to the East coast, so I had my district manager write me up a letter on the companies letterhead, stating that I was being relocated to the East coast. The association let me out of my lease on the spot. They asked me when I planned on moving out, I told them at the end of the month...and they had no problems with it. There is legal crap written in your lease, read it you will find any loopholes.

The easiest way is if your boss is cool enough to write you such a letter....hopefully he isn't black or hispanic. those people tend to not want to help us.

I could probably get my boss to do it, but my roommate's manager wouldnt go for it.
My brother got relocated by the navy at one point and his ex-wife got stuck with paying off the apartment....I wouldnt do that to someone that didnt deserve it though.

Yep though....spics and blackies are evil....I hope they all die. Next I guess I'll have to kill myself, cant have NA's running around either......
