I am 6 months into a 12 month lease; there is an issue with a creature living in the ceiling of the apartment that the landlord has not been able to resolve. As they have been unable to remove the pest and it continues to scratch loudly on the ceiling (it wakes me up at 2, 3 or 4 am) I would like to terminate the lease.

I called the landlord 2 weeks ago to discuss it and have left several messages since that time with no return calls.

At this point I am considering sending a certified letter giving the landlord 30 days notice that I will be leaving.

Does anyone feel that I will still be responsible for the remaining lease term?

Thank you
