<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Roll the dice, move your mice, the people talked the mostly loudly about threatening are the ones who dont even have a lawyer.If the jease isnt signed she can go pound sand.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Does your written lease say what conditions the landlord must keep the premises in? If it says it must be clean, etc., you can tell her she breached the contract and therefore you do not owe her. If the lease doesn't say that, then you would have to fall back to local laws which protect tenants implicitly, but that is a much bigger battle. <br /><br />People threaten to sue all the time. It doesn't mean it's going to happen. If it does, you can also threaten to counter-sue her for exposing you to an unhealthy environment. However, as Sgt Gus Laskaris said, you have to decide if all of your time is worth the actual rent cost.<br /><br />For the record, I'm not a lawyer.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My only advice as a Dad who has had to help my kids sometimes. Take photo's of everything. If you do end up in small claims court you what to be able to show what the living conditions where so it is not her word against yours. Document everything. If other people are living there and are complaining about the same thing have them write a letter saying the same thing. All this will help in court.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Few Points, <br />What do you mean by not signed was not established, what is the difference between signing and establishing? Did you sign the lease? Did she provide you a copy of the lease? In most states by living there for a period of time you have effectively signed the lease by your actions anyway. <br /><br />Paying the lease for the entire Month is normal and will be upheld in almost every state, this will primarily be determined by the language in your lease agreement. The only way out of it is to go through the breach of contract protocols which generally requires you to give her written notice of the deficiencies and she has a timeframe to correct those deficiencies depending on your state and severity of the deficiencies. Likely she had the animals before you moved in so you won't be able to argue she has too many animals as you knew that when you signed the lease. (leave the part about you needing an address to pay in-state tuition out of your argument it won't get you any points) Specifically what has happened in the last few days that requires you to leave? Poop on the floor is a good way to demonstrate breach of agreement just about every state that is grounds for termination, but she has a good argument that you have been there for months and nothing has changed. The safety thing may be a good counterargument as well.<br /><br />With the evidence presented I think your landlord has a strong case against you and you will be required to pay her unless you can demonstrate her breaching the agreement. Certainly depends on your state and the terms of your lease.
