You have to be able to show good reason. An example would be, if when you moved in you had good reason to believe the area (apartment area) is safe. Then say you have had your car broken into in your parking area, a bike stolen from your property, police have been called to neighbors often, things like that. Then you have to give at least a 30 day notice in writing explaining that you do not feel safe in your apt. and that you feel you are forced to move. I believe they do have the right to keep your security deposit. This is what I was taught when I was studying to be a Paralegal. Jeanne
I would be asking, in person, for a break, and would provide PROOF that your company is sending you out of the country. In that case the owner will be more likely to allow you to terminate early.
No.
That depends on the wording of the lease.
If your landlord breaks into your apartment or enters it without notifying you, this is grounds to break a lease. You can't break a lease just because there was a break in, however. Landlords are not even legally required to tell you if you are moving into a high crime area. If you can prove this is an ongoing and pervasive problem , it may be grounds to break your lease. Get real documentation, not just hearsay.Police reports and other victims or witnesses.

Im pretty sure you can in every state! But you have to pay a fee. For example, in Colorado if you break a lease, it is at least $200.
Not unless you can prove that there is A pattern of break ins that existed before you moved in, and you had no knowledge of it.
Yes, but you'll owe any penalty.
Unless you can prove that there is meth, and that your landlord is cooking it, you have little basis for terminating your lease. You need to call the police.
