Here is the situation...2 months ago my mother moved into a new apartment. Since then, her medical condition has gotten worse and she can no longer go up and down the stairs without putting herself in a dangerous position. She talked to the landlord and they said (in a rather bitchy way) if she could find someone who would take it over they would let her sublet it. Well, every time she finds someone who wants it, the landlord finds some reason why they won't let my mother sublet to them. Today makes the 3rd time this has happened. Mind you, my mom is using great caution while trying to find a tenant since this is going to be a sublease and ultimately, if something goes wrong, she'll be the one responsible. I tell you that because I wanted to show that she's not asking the landlord to consider $h!t bags for renters.

Anyhow, given that...anyone have any good ideas to either one, get my mom out of the lease...or 2, what can she do to get herself evicted?

I believe there is a law stating if someone is disabled and needs safety stairs the landlord needs to provide....if they dont she can legally get out of the lease due to safety concerns and the landlord wont want the headache.....U are welcome

YUP - bring in the ADA. I know a guy who has a bunch of rental properties that he manages from a home office. Somehow or another, the ADA caught wind of his "home business" and required him to put a wheelchair ramp up to his front door so that the potential disabled tenant could get to his "office." Mom should be VERY well covered.

Here's a legal website that you might try. Maybe there is something in it that may be helpful to your mother.

Copper sulfate...faster decomposition. Don't want any pesky critters nosing around and uncovering your little "lost" friend.
