I rent my basement And I did signed a year contract but my tenant keeps bringing people over to spend more than one night, leaves garages open, leave front door unlocked when she leaves the house. can I break a lease without getting a lawsuit ?

Should I be worried there will be a conflict of interest and choose my own and spend the money to have a peace of mind?

@Lisa Ramos can you spend half to make it rent ready and than buy another with other half of money?

If I were your financial coach I would ask do you really need to spend a third of net income on rent?
