Sorry if this is not a hot topic but you ladies seem to know a lot and I thought I may get some useful insight from youOk so my husband and I signed a 12 month lease and have only fulfilled 6 months. However we now have a chance to get a house and I want to jump on the opportunity but I am afraid of the early termination fee. Since being here we have been miserable. The day we moved in a man tried to expose himself to me and followed me while trying to undo his pants (I was able to call my husband to the rescue, I was also 7 months pregnant) while I was walking my dog. We called the police and security who searched for the man. The apartment was notified but didn't follow up. I have recently come to realize this man is my neighbor. So I am terrified to go outside and never do so without my husband. Another thing is that I have repeatedly asked them to spray for spiders because we are having a big issue with them and I don't want my son or dogs to be bitten. They have never come to spray and I would know because I am a stay at home mom. Granted I'm not here 24/7 but they are required to notify me beforehand and haven't. I asked them a month before I was due and all the way up until the day before I was induced. And several times since then and nothing. Alongside these issues there are always police here and I smell pot being smoked just about everyday. (The pot may not be an issue for some but it is for me). So my question is is there a way I can break the lease and avoid the termination fee because of these issues or am I just SOL? I'm in Oklahoma by the way, I'm not sure of the leasing laws here. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
