Can I legally leave my apartment if management ask me to sign a new lease?
I recently signed a one year lease on the first of July. Since my fiancé and I moved in we have had three annual inspections in one month. The last time I checked annual meant yearly. I confronted them about the inspections and even wrote a letter saying that I did not want to be harassed every other week and day and that I wanted the inspections to come to a hault. The management told me as long as I am living there I will be harassed every week and every day if they wanted to do an inspection because it is perfectly legal and as long as they put a notice on my door they could harass me everyday. Three days ago I get another note on my door saying that we need to come to the office immediately to sign a paper to complete our move-in. I don't understand how we can complete a move-in if we have already moved in and signed a lease. Just yesterday we receive a phone call from the manager saying that it isn't a paper it's a brand new lease! Apparently they are taking out a component of the lease so they are asking every resident to come to the office and sign a brand new lease. I wanted to know since I have been constantly harassed just in the month and a half that I been there, could I actually leave the apartment without paying any penalties for breaking the lease. I figure the lease can't be broken if there is no lease to break.
