State law allowing you to break a lease??

[Balian]

I was told that there is a state law saying that if your company is relocating you out of town or 50 miles away, that the apartments you live in cannot charge you any kind of lease termination fees.. Does anyone know any truth into this as I really want to get out of this shithole place I am in.

Only if it is specified in the lease

You know, I would look in my lease if I had a copy. I still haven't gotten one..

Go ask the property manager for a copy. They have to provide you with one.

We have done that..We keep getting some BS that some lady, I think the owner, hasn't signed off on it yet..I will ask tomorrow again.

Then it sounds like you don't have a legally binding lease at all!

exactly.

When I relocated, my company assumed the cost of my lease...You may want to inquire about that.

Tell the landlord to produce a written signed and dated contract with both yours and their signatures within 24hrs. If not I would move out immediately.
