Its not a good idea to piggyback your question on another thread. To avoid confusion I've moved your question to it's own thread.

What is the hov? Also where is this, laws vary by area. But generally, if you can show you have an uninhabitable condition, then you can break your lease, but you have to make sure you do it right, and just complaining to the landlord isn't sufficient.

Have you called the local Health Department and complained?
