    Default How to Get Out of a Lease

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Washington, DC

    I am renting a one bedroom apartment in Washington, DC. My lease is not up until 11/1/09 and I am not sure I will make it that long. I have obnoxiously loud neighbors across the hall and above me. It is a 4 unit walk up apartment so you can hear basically everything. On top of the annoyance of the neighbors there is no heat in the apartment. The landlord provided 2 space heaters to heat the apartment with when I moved in, I didnt think anything of it because I like my space to be cool, but after telling my friends and family they seemed to be very disturbed by this so I'm guessing this is not an okay thing. Anyhow, the lease does not state anything on breaking the lease. I am wondering if there is a standard law of giving 30 days notice or some pay out option or if I am basically just screwed? Please help!
