Facts: Can an owner of a multi-unit(300+ Units) complex change to a HUD/Section 8 site, require all residents to furnish financial data to qualify each tennant for assisted housing and require a new lease even though my current lease still has six months to run, and second, if I refuse to provide this private information must I pay early termination fees to leave?

A. You have a valid contract and can sue for breach if it is terminated early. Besides, the court will not evict you under these circumstances. When your lease expires, then your landlord can terminate your lease and convert your unit/apt. No you can't be required to pay any early termination fees.
