PROBLEM WITH ROACHES

It depends on your state but generally, you can break the lease agreement for reasons of uninhabitable condition. This means that all the utilities and appliances provided do not work, and the fixtures attached to the place are already considered as hazards. Rodent or insect infestations can be hazardous too. So again, check your local tenant laws.

If your roach problem is a valid reason to legally break an agreement, you would need to show proof like photos or signed documents – all in the presence of a witness. You can then request your landlord for moving out expenses since he broke the lease agreement first when he failed to provide you with a habitable apartment.

If nothing works, scare him with a formal complaint. RPA has that option too.
