Any attorney will say it is not possible to answer your question without a detailed review of the lease you signed. These kinds of cases are highly fact dependent so you should consult an attorney in your area for specifics.

You need to sit down with an attorney and review your lease agreement, as well as any notices sent or received by you. Please feel free to contact my office if you would like to schedule a consultation.
