Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
No Lease Breaking reciept
An apartment complex refuses to provide a receipt for the fee paid to break a lease. The recepit in required for the former tennet to be reimbursed from his new employer as part of the relocation arrangement with his new employer. The apartment manager flat out refusses to write a reciept or letter stating that she received the money. The check was cashed. Is this legal?
Am I out of luck?

Re: No Lease Breaking reciept
You are indeed entitled to a written receipt in California. If the apartment complex is in Texas, however, I do not know.
California Civil Code �1499 provides: "A debtor has a right to require from his creditor a written receipt for any property delivered in performance of his obligation."
