So my gf and I rented a place about 2 months ago. We signed a 6 months lease agreement but plan to live there for a year before buying. About a month ago, my landlord rented the second suite beside ours to 2 girls, 2 babies, and a dog. In addition, they have 2 pups that they keep in a cage by the side of the house on certain days. One of their bf is also there most days and is quite loud. So with all these people/pet in a small suite you can just imagine how loud it can get.

Besides all of this, we have to share the laundry/drying machine with these girls. Anyhow, they would even do their laundry on our days even though in the tenant's agreement we are clearly assigned certain days to do laundry. Now, I want to bring this up to the landlord, girls, or break the lease agreement. My gf told me not to complain as she is afraid our neighbors will break into our suite and damage our things as we both work till 5 on weekdays and no one is at home during these times if they were to break in.

The other thing is that I'm concerned about is my landlord does not really speak English so he may not communicate it to them properly so if I did bring it up to him nothing will be done. My gf mentioned that one time the landlord told my neighbors to move their bikes but they were acting all rude to him and was telling him how they don't understand what he is saying.

Lastly, they already broke the tenants agreement as when my gf and I signed our lease agreement it clearly stated no pets but I don't know why the landlord made an exception for them. If I broke the lease agreement, which I don't really want to do, will I have to pay a penalty and what will you do if you were in my shoes?
