We have been living in a 2nd fl apt since july, and everything used to be fine. Recently, Landlord leased the empty space below us to a nightclub/bar and last night was their opening night. I didn't realize that our floor/their ceiling is basically paper-thin and their music shook our floors untill 5am this morning.
During that time we called the cops and the nightclub did turn down the music a little but our floors still shook and vibrated, and we could also hear people cheering, shouting...etc, typical nightclub noises.
Needless to say that we could not sleep at all.
Did the landlord break our contract by putting in a nightclub below us? What rights do we have? Are we able to end our lease early and move away?
thanks for any advice
