What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Utah
We moved in January 23rd, from that night they upstairs tenants (basement apartment) have been nothing but obnoxious, below you'll hear some voicenotes I have recorded there are over 50. It has ended up the police being called, not only by us.
The landlord never disclosed they controlled our heat, we shared a water heater, or the fact he has a lengthy criminal record. Since day one they have subsequently left us without heat. The landlord was made well aware of that fact. I have a 6 month old son who has to hear the "N" word dropped like he was saying hello.
It goes well beyond normal noise you would expect to hear in a basement apartment.
We work from home and have lost 6 hours which we have deducted from the rent, we are now served with a 3 days to pay or vacate notice. The landlords wife walked out with the partial rent payment checks yesterday. Because she in essence accepted the checks, can they even give us a notice to pay or vacate? He's charging me a late fee, however it's due for us on the 6th, he was notified on the 4th that it was available and that he still had not sent over envelopes. Did he want to pick it up when he was supposed to be here to disucss the neighbors or have us mail it. No response. So how is it our $60 cross to bear if he didn't read the email HE requested to be sent about the noise.
The landlord was notified yesterday we intended to move out next month. He has been notified every time of the noise, and in his lease it states we have a right to quiet and to enjoy our home, per the Utah renter's hand book we also have the right to enjoy piece and quiet and have a safe environment. I don't feel safe here seeing as how he verbally assaulted me and slammed a door so hard in my face it literally almost hit me in the face, which was the night I called the police it was so bad.
What are our steps from here? They violated their lease and the law and we're the ones being made to move?

The one that plays 1st is the voicemail we recieved from her after she adivsed the landlord all we had to do was call and talk to her. She called 4 times before leaving it, again we were working at the time which is why the phone was not answered.
The one labeled 1 Is what we hear on a daily basis from them when they fight.
