Can I breach my lease for pests and the welfare of my child?
Full Question:
I have a 12 month lease currently in good standing. Since I've been in this apartment I have seen at least 1 mouse a month. There is mice droppings everywhere and I've been told that they carry bacteria and other germs and I have a toddler in the place. I have contacted the landlord and all he did was put down one glue trap that barely has glue on it. Can I breach my lease for pests and the welfare of my child?
