I am a tenant in Oklahoma living at Atria Luxury Apartments since April. My car was stolen in July and my truck was broken into/vandalized twice. Many other tenants have also complained about vehicle break-ins. I was told this was a safe place with no issues upon moving in. I can't continue to live here knowing there is a good chance my vehicles will be vandalized again, costing me thousands of dollars. I put in my 60-day notice to leave and was told I also have to pay two months' rent after that. I don't understand how I should have to pay this early termination fee with the circumstances. Was supposed to be out by December 18 but I was out on November 18 and would have sooner because I can't trust my things there to be safe any longer. Is there anything I can do?
