Can I terminate my lease early because my landlord did not tell me about upcoming construction on the unit?
As the previous answer notes, the answer is contained in your lease and your local laws. However, you might have a difficult time proving that your landlord didn’t know about the construction, and it’s unlikely–in any case–that it would be grounds for terminating your lease. More likely, your lease requires your unit to be habitable, and there’s probably some reference to “quiet enjoyment” or similar. There may also be something in there about notice being given before entering your unit, except in cases of emergency. It’s that sort of language that would most likely allow you to terminate your lease. However: Read your lease. Contact your county consumer affairs office and ask about tenant rights. Then take it from there.
