  My daughter lives at The District at Hamilton Place. During her time there, her car was stolen and later, a naked man appeared at her door (caught on video) and masturbated outside her apartment. She requested to end her lease just 20 days early due to safety concerns, and this is the response we received from attorney Patrick Wagner, who represents the property: I am the attorney for District @ Hamilton Place, and they've asked me to respond to your demand below. The answer is no; you will not be let out of your lease early. If you do a little legal research, you'll find that landlords have no duty to protect you from individuals who come onto the property, such as this. This is no different in an apartment complex than it is if, say, you were renting a single-family home - that landlord is not a guard dog or hired bodyguard. They have a duty not to permit dangerous conditions, such as a broken or breaking stairway, to continue to exist, once they know about it. There is, legally, no duty to protect you whatsoever in TN from third parties. Your demands are not based in law or in fact - they're just your personal opinions, which don't have any legal force or effect. If you choose to file a fraudulent complaint with some governing entity, we will just respond accordingly. I'm not remotely worried about it, nor is my client. There are no "further protective measures" the property/landlord have to, or could, take concerning the pervert that was arrested. If you no longer feel safe there, then you shouldn't feel safe anywhere, as this could literally happen at any property you buy/rent anywhere in the world. You were not, to the best of our knowledge, personally targeted by anyone. Your landlord has not failed to comply with your lease agreement whatsoever. The law you cited would absolutely not apply in this instance. No resolution will be reached with you regarding your demands- you can vacate at the end of your lease, and you're being treated just like anyone else would be in this situation, due to my client's actual obligation to do so. If you move out early, it will be one-sided on your part and not without lease break fees/consequences. Nothing you threaten will change this, because it will just be an empty threat and not based in fact or in law. Please conduct yourself accordingly, and best of luck moving out, whenever you do. We are not agreeing to terminate your lease Oct 31, as you requested. Your request is denied. Best, -Pat I found the tone incredibly dismissive and unprofessional given the nature of the incident. What’s more confusing is the contrast with their firm's own advertising: “Property owners and managers have a responsibility to maintain their premises in a manner that prevents harm to visitors… We also handle cases involving negligent security.” — Wagner Injury website This raises a question: if negligent security matters when they’re representing victims, why does it suddenly become irrelevant when representing a landlord? I hope others consider this when choosing legal representation. In my opinion, professionalism and empathy matter more than arrogance. I cannot recommend this firm.
