How can I prove that my landlord did not provide a copy of my lease to me so that I can move out prior to the end of it?when i first moved in i...

It is nearly impossible to prove that something did not
happen, and certainly, you will never allow yourself to be in this kind of situation
again.  Breaking a lease can be difficult to do, no matter what state you live in, but I
can offer you a few suggestions on how you might be able to leave prior to lease
end.

First, your landlord's primary objective is
maintaining a stream of income for the unit.  If you are able to find a substitute,
someone with good references and good credit, it is possible that he will release you
from your lease.  This is something you want to approach politely and maturely, because
he will be doing you the favor.

Second, if there is
anything serious wrong in your apartment, for example, bug infestations, roof leaks, or
faulty plumbing, this is likely to be in violation of Health Department standards.  You
might be able to negotiate a settlement with the landlord not to report problems in
exchange for being released from the lease.

In either case,
if you are released from the lease, be sure to get something in writing that shows you
are released from the lease, so that the landlord does not go to the magistrate once you
move and sue you for the balance of the lease.

Good
luck!
