Q: Do we have legal basis to break the lease and move out?
My husband and I have a lease for the property we are living in. It was being managed by the property management company however our landlord dropped the property management. Before she had dropped them we had put in a request for our loose plug outlets to be fixed back in September due to them being loose. We have 9 in the house that are loose. They came to look at them and said they needed to be replaced but they needed approval from our landlord to fix them. We never heard back from them and they were never fixed. The property management company was dropped in December. We waited to hear back from the property management company and never heard back. We are to the point we just want out of this house and lease. Do we have a legal reason to break our lease and move out?
