Apartment Legal Question

The only thing all parties had a signed agreement on is the lease; so I'm basing my case 100% off of that.

The only legal leg they have to stand on is the lease. In fact that is what they are trying to do. If they did not specify in the lease exactly what form then it is open to interpretation...but not JUST theirs. As you implied there is no documented legal contract requiring you to fill said form. The fact that they acknowledged your e-mail is sort of damning. They'd have been better off just saying they never got it. FD's question about email constituting "written notice" is a good one though. Perhaps in MD it isn't enough...although I'd be a little surpirsed.

Where the hell is Joe?
