Is there any legal precedent for ending a lease early (from tenant side) for repeated theft?

In this situation, I am the renter. US Based.

The area in which I rent has started to see crime increase drastically over the last 2 years and its at the point where over the last few months alone, I've had my car stolen and multiple package deliveries stolen.

My report to my landlord and the police, but here its basically expected that you'll never hear from the police again, and the landlord has cameras everywhere but never comes up with anything.

Is it possible to get out of a lease early under these circumstances at all? I plan to speak directly with the landlord (which is a big company) about it to see if they would break it off. If they refuse, I'm curious if I have other options of if I'm just stuck riding it out while neither the landlord or police will do anything helpful.

For reference I live in a locked building, with tons of cameras inside and outside. When my car was stolen from right under a camera, no help. As my packages are being stolen, no help. So its likely another resident that is the thief that should be easily identifiable on camera, or its someone being let in by residents and allowed to free roam our home.

So basically I'm hoping that considering the landlord is doing absolute nothing, not even putting a sign up... do I have an approach?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
