no you have no rights to break the lease becasue you were broken into and becasue somebody knocked on your windown.

they are horrible things to happen but not of the landladys doing and not a reason to break a lease

Call TV3 now..they are interviewing at the moment loads of people for a tv show and are currently doing a person i know about dodgy letting agencies...expose them.

Also let the prtb know what happened they will help. You got lied too.

Expose them for what?

The most they did was lie about it being rented before. THe owner could have lied to them.

BTW if the LL is out of the country the tax payments are the tenants responsibility

Actually, only if they're renting from the landlord directly, and not through an agency as they are. So it's not the OP's responsibility.
