I live in Missouri. I was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. I had this diagnosis a few months before we moved in to the house we are leasing, but added partial complex seizure disorder after we moved in, and now have a medical order to stop driving.
I had a transischemic accident in July and was hospitalized, and now have to have a walker to assist me to walk. The baths in the house are now too high for me to get in safely, and there is no wheelchair ramp. The baths also do not have hand rails installed that can support me. It is cost prohibitive for us to make these modifications and then restore the house to its original configuration, and we make too much money to qualify for grants.
Now it appears that my spouse has developed Parkinson's, and we may not have anyone in the home able to drive. There is no public transportation to our home, in fact the only commercial transportation is a limosine service which will come out for $120 per hour, which is cost prohibitive for us.
Is there any legal way for us to break our lease or must we rely on the good will of our property management company or landlord?
