Mold in my apt! Can I break the lease?

Asked over 2 years ago - Philadelphia, PA
Breaking a Lease Business Contracts

I haven't done any tests yet, but I think there is mold growing in my apt. Water is getting into my apt when it rains. My lease states that I may leave the apt if it is partially uninhabitable. Does this constitute as uninhabitable?

Intuitively I will say that it remains habitable. What you can start doing is withholding rent after you inform you LL of your concerns in writing. Take that money and put it in an escrow account. Good luck.
