Okay, first time renter

Okay, first time renter here, so bear with me on this. I moved into my apartment in october. My lease was up April 1st. I am on a month to month basis, and they require 60 days notice to vacate. I don't want to have to give that long of a notice. Here is why.... I have a 2 bedroom apartment, from the months of january until april, my boyfriend and i were forced to sleep in the living room due to a very loud banging noise that was coming from our heaters. (in both rooms) i had complained several times about this and management did nothing. (finally just 3 weeks ago, they fixed it, but the maintenance guy who came to fix it even said that the manager specifically told him NOT to fix it) Every night, we would drag our Queen size mattress into the living room to sleep. (what a nightmare, and a backache) Anyway, april 1st when our lease was up, my boyfriend was at home, and there was a knock at the door. He went to grab a shirt, and by the time he was back out into the living room, my manager and an assessor were standing in our kitchen. NO NOTICE was given to either of us, that they were coming. She claimed that she left a message with me, but that was not true. That's not all..... our neighbor has a mentally challenged son who has quite the aggressive side. I am 5 ft 2, and pretty small. this guy is about 300 lbs, and over 6 feet tall. We have had a few incidints with him lurking on our patio, looking into our apartment. Last time my boyfriend said something to him, he got very aggressive and started shouting at my boyfriend trying to get him to fight. Just this past weekend, something else happened. He was looking into our windows again, so my boyfriend confronted his mom. (this guy is probably 30 years or so old) She told him to stay in the house, and he got angry, came over onto our patio and screamed continuously at my boyfriend. Obviously there is a problem. I fear for my safety, he seems quite aggressive and i do not feel safe when my boyfriend isn't home. His mom just seemed to laugh about it, which didn't help the situation, but whatever. is there any way to get out sooner than 60 days, with all the things that have been going on lately? someone help me please, i called the consumer protection agency, and they were no help at all!
