If I understand your situation right, your townhouse was taken over by a new property management company... not new property owners. If that is the case, then your lease is with the property owner who agreed to your current lease via his previous agent, not with the new management Company's personnel.  The purpose of a written lease or contract is so there is a legal binding agreement between the parties... generally when rental property is transferred between owners the rental agreements transfer as written until they expire. Then they are renegotiated. You should read your lease, but it appears that at the very least you have grounds to move out without any penalty. Of course the new management may be SOB's about it and try to keep any security deposit or try to enforce the lease. If you don't have any concern about making the new management mad at you, I'd recommendation contacting someone like Amanda Taylor @ News 9 and tell her about your situation. The OKC television stations like doing stories about consumer issues such as yours. Last thing the new management of a property wants is a lot of bad publicity right after they have taken over. It doesn't reflect well on them and the property owners don't like it because if their property gets a bad reputation in the press.. it might hurt their annual income.</blockquote>
