    1st of all remind your landlord that he has a duty to provide you with a safe environment in which to live.  And since he has failed to do so you wish to terminate your lease.  I suggest you do all of this in writing and provide him with a copy of the police report which i am sure you have.  Good luck to you!

    I am impressed with Nascarnuts' answer. She knows what she is talking about. Just for good measure, you might want to send it "return receipt requested' so that you have proof of notification, and keep a copy of the letter for yourself also. Good luck to you.

    YES BY ALL MEANS SEND IT RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. WAIT FOR LANDLORD'S REPSONSE PRIOR TO VACATING.
