Breaking my apartment lease
I am a college student that signed a one year lease agreement for an apartment. Since then I have found that my building is loud from Thursday night until Sunday morning and as a result my grades have dropped. In addition I have, on many occasions, found cups full of urine or vomit spewed on walls in the walkway of the building. I sat down today with my property manager, explaining my situation and my intent to move out. She told me that there was nothing at this point that she could do but try to get a new tenant in the unit. Is there anything I can do to move before the end of the lease agreement without being responsible for rent? Practically, in the state of Virginia, if I pay two to three months rent in advance will the landlord let me out of the lease?
