Q: I can't find my lease can I be kicked out?
Our new property manager asked to see a copy of my current lease and my recent payments. I can't find my lease. I know I signed one and had it. I have looked everywhere. I have proof of most of my recent payments. Our lease is up in about 2 months. Can I be kicked out if It is an apartment complex they have an office upfront. I am not sure why they don't have this on file. I am so worried. I know I have not done anything wrong. I really dont want to be kicked out cause I cant find it. Can I ask them for a copy?
A: Cooperate with the new property manager; show all receipts for rent payments and get copies of all checks payable to the complex; be honest and tell them you have misplaced your copy of the lease and ask them to make a copy for you. This will stretch out the situation until your lease is up. If you plan to stay, notify them now.
