<prompt> Human: I have had new neighbors below me for over a month, and they have made my apartment unlivable. They took the batteries out of their smoke detector so they can smoke in their apartment, so the device will chirp every minute its installed right below my bedroom - so, infuriating doesnt even cover it.They also will blast music at incredible levels starting at 2AM and going til 4AM.I have filed countless complaints with the leasing office, mostly about the smoke detector, to no avail. Ive talked with my neighbors but theyre too strung out to understand me. The next time their music comes on Im calling the police, but Im not sure if that will cut it.My lease, like many others, has provisions for reasonable levels of noise and quiet hours after a certain time. My leasing company signed that, and so did I.My thoughts are, if they cant provide me a place where I can get more than 3 or 4 hours of sleep each night, then they need to release me from my lease since theyre unable to fulfill their end of the agreement. What Id like to prevent is getting stuck with a lease break penalty of 2-4 months of rent or a huge ding on my credit report for failure to pay rent, or some other horror story. I dont have the money to pay for any of that but my place is also unlivable. Any advice on how to approach this situation?EDIT: Thanks guys for your suggestions. I did threaten the leasing office with video evidence and let them know they were breaking their clause, but they were entirely unhelpful. In fact they were extremely rude to me and let me know I was a nuisance after that I said some things Im not proud of. They sent a maintenance man who could not hear the beeping over the music and didnt fix the issue.BUT, what did work, was finding another maintenance man, one that was kind and helpful. I had him stand still for a moment to hear the beeping and he agreed it was horrible, and told me the leasing office never actually put through any of my work orders for it for the last 6 weeks. So, the beeping is gone, Ive been calling the cops about the music, and now all I have to do is wait out my lease for the next couple months and hope the sound stops after enough fines and move out to a cheaper place hopefully.  <response>: The next time their music comes on Im calling the police, but Im not sure if that will cut it.look up your local noise ordinance. odds are your neighbors are violating a city andor county code on loud noises etc. call the cops on the non-emergency line, and call them every time the noise is excessive and appears to violate the city law. What Id like to prevent is getting stuck with a lease break penaltytalk to the landlord. and read the lease to learn what the provisions are for breaking the lease. maybe you can break the contract relatively easily, without a lot of fuss and drama.
