Post: Contructive Eviction

Posted by Darla on 3/08/07
I am eight months into a 12 month lease. In Dec the roof starting leaking due to the heavy snows on the roof. We have had several snowstorms since. The dining room has flooded twice damaging a table. I alerted the landlord with a Tenant Request for Maintenance back in Jan. There are times you can detect a burning smell as you enter the dining room. Also, the breaker trips all the time and we have to go three flights to the basement to turn it back on. We have also had problems with bats and the manager has entered the apartment on more than one occasion without notice or without ringing the bell. I have mailed him a Termination of Tenancy that I will be vacating the premises. Have I followed procedures? Do I have legal right to break the lease and what about the deposit? I have also requested a copy of the lease numerous of time and have never recieved. Your help is much appreciated.
