    They don't have to give you a copy, you should have keep a copy when you signed it.

    They have to present a signed copy in court, if you sue based on contract issues.

    Why is getting a copy a issue ? Are they trying to void or change some of the parts of it

    Yes, you shouldn't have moved in without a copy. But if they make changes to it that are damaging to you, all you can do is point them out and say you didn't agree to them. That can be tough without a copy!

    Try a reasonable approach first - ask to fill out a whole new lease and have it signed by the new office manager. Ask in writing, and send it certified mail, and keep a copy.

    There are plenty of reasons they are protected by a lease as well as you, so they should be agreeable. But I wouldn't worry too much about all this unless something is going wrong.
