    Did I miss something, or...

    ...have you even *spoken* to the guy?

    Maybe he didn't realize he was making noise because the last tenants weren't bothered. Maybe he's got a clumsy houseguest. Maybe the earplugs will kick in after a few more tries. Maybe, in short, this is a temporary and/or easily remedied situation. Regardless, "break the lease" is a remedy so premature and extreme that it's absurd.
