A question concerning renters rights in Wisconsin?

I have been living in my apartment since september of last year and my lease ends at the end of october this year. Since I've started living here I have had 3 notices left about the maintainence crew having stopped by without my being told 12 hours ahead of time (which they are legally obligated to do.) I've also had my clothing seized for accidentally forgetting it in the laundry room. Nowhere in my lease does it mention that this is not allowed, although I understand that it may have inconvenienced others. My downstairs neighbors constantly files bogus complaints against myself and my roommate, including, but not limited to accusing us of throwing cigarette butts and packages onto their porch (they're on the first floor, we're on the second) even though we make sure the butts are placed in a closed jar when we're done and it is emptied periodically. And even though it's very possible that passerby were the culprits because of the open yard near several large buildings, ... we have been told that we need to go down and pick up the mess. Needless to say, I want to get out of my lease. However, my manager says I can't do it without paying the rest of my rent for the lease. Sub-leasing is not allowed. Despite my loathing of this place, I am going back to school next year and they require that I either live in the dorms or with my parents, and living with my parents isn't an option for me, so I literally HAVE to live in the dorms because I'm only going to be a sophmore. Is there any way I can break my lease on the grounds of them not giving me adequate notice, or temporarily seizing my property, or even use those as bargaining tools to get out of here? Regarding the packages: not ours either, both my roommate and I are very careful in general about not littering.
