I live in Georgia, and I signed a 14 month lease last year in july. From the moment i moved into my apartment there have been several problems. I have called maintenance to the unit several times for repairs and they never came to fix any of the damages. Some examples are the towel rack hung improperly, pest control problems,graffiti and vandalism in the breeze way, and excessive trash in the breeze way. Once, when i had requested maintenance to come to my apartment, they left a note on my door saying they did not have a copy of the key to my apartment which i had turned in when they requested a key audit (that all tenants provide a copy of key to residence to the rental office). This was about six months after i had moved in. After i continued to complain about the condition of the hallway, they sent a painter to cover up the graffiti, however, he did not put down any protection on the doors or carpet and the entire interior of the building is covered in white paint. Not to mention that within a course of a year, there has been excessive criminal activity from police chases to drug transactions directly in front of my building. The last straw was four days ago when my neighbor(who lives directly behind me) was robbed and shot in his apartment. I have not been able to sleep there and have been living at a family members house. I have spoke to other neighbors who have already tried to break their lease and they have been denied. I was going to pay my rent but have used that money to find another place to stay. What would be the best action to take?
