[quote=Anonymous]We rented a SFH about 2 months ago in a nice suburb of a large metro area (not DC). We moved from out of state and wanted to wait a year before buying.

The realtor who worked with us and did all the lease paperwork mentioned that the detached garage would not be available because the owner/landlord uses it for storage. He also would be coming into town once and awhile and would stay in the apartment above the garage. Fine.

Well, he has not left the garage apartment. Actually LIVES there. We are really pissed that this was not disclosed to us. He stops by and rings our doorbell 1-2 a week to pick up mail and check on the house. He also does yardwork in the backyard at his leisure. We reached out to the realtor, and are waiting for her to talk to the landlord directly.

Is there any recourse here to get out of this lease? We are locked in for 1 year. I do not feel comfortable having a random person living in our backyard. Our teenage daughter is freaked out to stay home by herself. 
We would have never rented the place!! [/quote]
