Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

Hey. I signed a lease for an apartment online a couple months ago. Right after I signed they tried to hit me with a bunch a charges that wasn't mentioned in the lease. I tried to get out of the lease but they told me two different things then tried to charge me something else that also was not listed in the lease. They just say it's company policy. Is there anyway I can get out of this nightmare? I'm a college student and it's my first apartment.

Both parties are bound by the terms of the written agreement. Do not allow them to intimidate you into agreeing to something not in the written agreement.
