[Sickandtired]

I signed a lease to rent an apartment for a year. This apartment is located over 90 miles away from where I live. It is also over 90 miles away from my doctor.
After I signed a lease I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. My doctor said not to move away because he is still treating me. Medically it is not in my best interest to move 90 miles away from my doctor and my parents. I also suffer from anxiety disorder. Since all of this began it is getting substantially worse.
My problem is this. I spoke to a manager at the apartments who told me to give him a doctors note and he would release me from my leasing obligations. I called back about a week later to see how things were going and he no longer worked there. I was then connected to the next manager who once again said if I sent him a doctors note he would send it to corporate and I would most likely be allowed to get out of my lease. I also signed a subleasing agreement so that someone could fill my spot if they didn't let me out of the lease. I called back about a week later and once again this manager no longer works there.
The new leasing manager is telling me that they do not allow people to break leases for any type of medical reasons. I have a hard time believing this since two other managers told me it would be possible. Is there anyway that I can get out of my lease for these medical reasons.
Not only am I physically unable, but with Crohn's disease it is hard to work. Therefore, I am pretty much financially unable. I can barely hold a part time job. Plus, I am trying to finish school.
These people are really giving me the run around. Is there anything I can do legally?

Try contacting the corperate office for the complex and ask them also read the fine print in your sublease terms you may be the one that has to fine a person to take over your apt.

Yes, go to corporate directly. Send them a certified letter with a letter from your doctor. In your letter, state that, as you have previously informed them, you will not be able to take the apartment as originally planned because of a severe change in your medical status. Tell them to feel free to re rent the unit.

Do not ASK to be let out of the lease. State that you are not going to use the apartment. Send a copy to the rental office.

Let them sue you, if they want. I seriously doubt they want the publicity of suing a disabled person.
