Does a creepy neighbor give an exception for breaking a lease?

While I am less familiar with house rentals than with apartment rentals, I'd say that, no, it isn't something that would be grounds for breaking your lease. I'd speak with the owner of the property (especially if your neighbor's home is owned by the same person/company), as well as file a complaint with the police. Never be afraid to do the latter, as it is better to be safe than sorry.

If you really feel the need to break the lease and don't want to be held responsible for the remaining months' rent, be sure to speak with your landlord again, explaining just how threatened you feel. There are a lot of them who are willing to work as best they can with people under extenuating circumstances.

Best of luck to you.

Having a creepy or merely threatening neighbor is not grounds to break a contract (lease). Until he does something that you can call in the police to help, you just have to live with whatever threats he does because it is not against the law to "look" menacing. He's stayed on his own property. If he breaks the law doing something to you, then you have grounds to break your lease and you may have to threaten a lawsuit against your landlord to get your money back. If you feel too threatened, you may want to move anyway and just forget getting your money back--you have to decide whether feeling safe in your own home is worth whatever amount you will lose breaking your lease. You might also want to inform your landlord (in writing and keep a copy) that the neighbor is driving you away and the landlord may continue to have problems keeping good tenants in this house (landlord really can't do anything but he may feel less disposed to keeping your money).

If this is a house... THEN NO.. if it is an apt then YES.

Remember you can get more results with sugar than with vinigar.

I would talk to your landloard and tell him you are soooooo scared of living there and possibly he will have simpathy.

the other thing is...often biker guys are really not a bruzer they have fun making others uncomfortable and watching the results. (it's a game they are playing) so either act like it doesn't bother you...

or start being friendly and wave and say hi! nice bike,

or move.

your not going to get anywhere acting insulted, mad, afraid, or any of these attitudes.

Take him some cookies the next time he runs his bike... and just say... "I have a bad headache and do you think you can give it a rest for a while?" here are some cookies for a reward.

good luck

It would be means to file a harassment report. Also, there is surely some noise ordinances where you live. Tell the landlord the problems and that you will leave early if he doesn't do anything about it. You should keep a record of dates and events in case you need to have legal assistance later.

He's harassing you. What you want to do is go to the police station and file a report. They may not do anything about it, but at least you have it on record. So if he keeps it up or goes further, the cops know that this is an ongoing problem and will take it more seriously.

You can't break your lease because your neighbor is an a##hole. I speak from experience. I know it sucks!

However, you can call the cops about a noise complaint if he has the motorcycle going for no reason or you can say that he's harrassing you with the machete and explain the situation to them.

You have every right to object to this bizarre and threatening behavior! I would go right to your landlord with exactly what you've written here and present it to them. They have an obligation to either toss this jerk out or allow you out of your lease early - or to at least work with you to make the situation better. This guy sounds like he could be dangerous. If you go to the landlord and this guy starts acting up more, or worse, threatening you or being vicious, call the police!

Don't know if you could get out of the lease. You can call the cops though. Secretly videotape him doing creepy things such as yelling at you. Then file harassment charges.

absolutly, your landlord has a duty to keep the peace around your apartment, if he cannot then you have the absolute right to break the lease, you should also give the police a quick call to let them know

If I were you, I'd call the police and see what you can do. I am sure they will have some great suggestions. Take care!
