I moved into an apartment on the 1st floor 8 months ago. Since I moved in the bathroom upstairs has leaked urine into my bathroom 3 times damaging clothes and other bathroom items. The bathroom has not leaked for a couple months but then my kitchen ceiling started leaking. The landlord told the woman upstairs that she could install a washer and dryer in her kitchen. It has caused leaking into my kitchen 5 times. Each time I contacted the landlord and he came to the apartment and claimed he fixed the problem but it keeps happening. All of my dishes, pot, pans, and utensils have been ruined. I informed the landlord that if the problem persists I will have to move out. We also had a problem with mice when we moved in and the landlord got the apartment exterminated but then I found several dead mice in my kitchen and my daughters room. How can I get out of my lease? Also I have section 8.
