Is the landlord aware of the break ins?

How much is the lease break fee?

Is this your first lease term with the landlord?

Were there any issues like this before the break in of your car and locker?

I am so very sorry to hear of this issue. Once you have given your landlord notice of these issues, they have to fix the issue within a reasonable amount of time (generally 7 days). This could include additional security measures, etc. If your landlord does not do so, you can sue your landlord for a breach of the implied warranty of habitability and ask the judge to let you out of the lease and/or for monetary compensation. You can do this at your local small claims court.
You can do this by going to your local small claims court and filling out the complaint packet. You will then file it and serve it on the landlord. The judge will then hold a hearing to determine liability and damages.
If at anytime you need an attorney to assist you, you can find a local attorney by contacting your local bar association and asking for a referral to one. You can also contact your local legal aid society as they offer free and low cost services in these types of cases. Another good resource is to contact your local law schools as they often have clinics with attorneys that will assist in these types of cases. Again, I am sorry to hear of this issue. If you have any follow up questions, I will be very happy to assist you.
