Re: Breaking & Entering
It depends on the lease-if management has the right to enter to do repairs, they can enter to conduct those repairs but they should give you notice beforehand unless they are of an emergency nature-if they are a true emergency, then there might be grounds to enter without a key-otherwise they are liable for damages for the breaking and entering and you may have grounds to bust the lease. Generally, moving expenses are not recoverable, but if you sue for breach of contract or breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment you may recover damages for moving etc. Consult an attorney and bring him a copy of the lease
