Breaking Lease Due Infestation

Summary

In Tennessee, landlords must provide habitable housing. If a roach infestation makes your apartment uninhabitable, you may have grounds to break the lease. Notify your landlord in writing and request extermination. If unresolved, document everything, contact local housing authorities, and consider legal advice to terminate the lease.

Since you've already notified your landlord, give them a reasonable time to address the issue. If they fail to resolve it, you can take further steps:
- Document everything (photos, dates, communications).
- Contact local housing authorities.
- Consider seeking legal advice to formally terminate the lease.
