LAWS REGARDING? MY LEASE WAS FORGED WITH MY SIGNATURE & BACK DATED, RETURNED WITH NONE OF MY NOTES, IT WAS 32 PAGES.

Question

1.   ON 3/23  I SENT SEVERAL EMAILS ASKING FOR MY "ORIGINAL LEASE I SIGNED WITH MY NOTES". 1 MONTH LATER STILL NO RESPONSE.   
2.    I APPROACHED ASST. TO THE MANAGER, WHO ADMITTED RUDELY [in front of other residents] "IT'S A LEGAL DOCUMENT, YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO WRITE ON IT"?   I DID AGREE "IT WAS A LEGAL DOCUMENT! " 
3.   EMAILED TO PCHA SEC. 8 CASEWORKER WITH THE FULL DISCLOSURE OF THE MEETING.  NO RESPONSE. 
4.   *5/5/23* ASKED PCHA FOR A COPY OF MY LEASE FROM THE APT OFFICE (INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY] AND RECEIVED "ONLY 9" PAGES, **5/23/23**.   I  ACKNOWLEDGED DISCREPANCIES. 
 
SO MUCH MORE.  IS THIS ILLEGAL AND WHAT IS RECOMMENDED TO CLEAR THIS UP?

First, forgery is a crime that can be reported to the police, and can result in arrest.  Whether you should report it in your situation is a decision for you to make based on factors that include the relationship you wish to have with the landlord and any potential retaliation (though retaliation would probably be unlawful as well).  Secondly, a lease without your signature would be invalid.  HOWEVER, that does not mean you don't have a valid landlord-tenant agreement because such agreements can be verbal if they are for a tenancy of no more than one year.  Consult a landlord-tenant attorney in your area.

Send them written notification by certified mail that what they gave you was not the same as what you signed.  If they seek to enforce terms different than what you signed, you can try to prove the different terms.   But unless you kept a copy including your 'notes' and missing pages, you may find it difficult to prove the missing material.
