Q: Can I break a lease if my personal relationship turns violent?
Thank you for writing! You gave us a Nevada zip code. If you can’t get the cops to arrest the cretin who’s been using violence against you, get out. The law will back you up. I’m going to start with information relevant to your situation specifically.
Finally, I’m going to address concerns of landlords and property managers who may have tenants with domestic violence issues.
