Move Out Due to Break in Children Saftey

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Alabama

Recently the home we rent was broken into and robbed. I have a 6 year old son a 3 years old son and a 7 month old son. My 6 year old won't sleep in his own room anymore. He worries constantly that it is going to happen again and has become very paranoid. My 3 year old freak out every time i leave the house. My wife had to call me at work one day because he though i had died and i needed to reassure him i would be home. The doors to the house only have one lock "deadbolt". and the new door that was put it in is no different.

We need to move for my kids but i can't afford to be sued specially when there is still 7-8 month left on the lease.

Just trying to see if this could be a reason to be able to legally break a lease. i feel like staying here i would be torturing my children.

I cannot find anything in the Alabama code suggesting that being burgled is a reason to get out of a lease.

Are the kiddies in counseling to help them?

Also when they broke in was the only time that both of our cars have been gone from the house. Im afraid that someone is stalking us and if we happen to both be gone at the same time again it would occur again

not right now.....it just happened like a week ago i was hoping their fear would pass but it hasn't yet

The vast majority of burglaries do not involve stalking.

It's still very early - their fear is going to remain for awhile. Have you spoken to your landlord about perhaps installing a security system on your own dime?

I just read that filing bankruptcy can break a lease if i reject it on my file?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

Filling for bankruptcy will ruin your credit, the landlord will request an exception from the automatic stay and will likely be granted it - you'll still owe.

PLUS you'll have an eviction on your file.

Being burgled is not sufficient grounds to break your lease contract. It isn't your landlord's fault. Should you break it anyway, your landlord could sue, and most likely would prevail.

Ask yourself this: if you owned a home and you were burgled, would you put it on the market and move? Every time? (I know people who have been burgled more than once.)

Get your kids and yourselves into counseling, and see about taking Doggies suggestion to install a security system. I understand that you feel violated and frightened, but moving isn't really the answer.

we are very low income and can't afford to pay that much for a security system when we can just move to a neighboorhood of all family

Well, you have two choices.

Stay put and finish out your lease.

Move, and end up getting sued.

how could they get around the brankruptcy.......depending on how uf ile i guess
