I would like to break my lease so I can move to an apartment community across town. I know it is not the hot season yet, but if my landlord will not fix the air-conditioning unit, can I use that as a reason to break the lease? ]]></description><author> Robert Griswold, Steven R.

The new landlord made me sign a new, 13-month lease. I thought it would be the same as the lease with my previous landlord, which was a month-to-month lease. I signed it thinking it was the same and didn't read it carefully enough. I want to move, but I can't. There is nothing wrong with the premises, but you need to take a flight of stairs to get to my apartment. If my ankle is sprained from playing basketball, can I say that the building is not handicap accessible and end my lease early? ]]></description><author> Robert Griswold, Steven R.
