Reagarding apartment rent lease problem

[Asim K Sinha]

I am living in Castle court appt Fall River MA .I had one year lease agreemnet with the owner.Now after 3 months I want to break the lease . They say I have to pay 2 months rent (as it is required 2 months notice before and I noticed it is not written on our lease agreement papers anywhere) and one more month rent as a "lease retraction" .So they wants total 3 months rent for breaking this lease .All the rules are verbal and I have not signed any paper yet which explain about this lease breaking.

Does anybody has gone through this phase ?This is very urgent.
Should I go to the lawyer or should I pay silently all the amount.

Please suggest me at my email add:

IF you do not have any written agreement, don't worry, but at thesame time try conveniece the Owner/Manager with fact that to come up with any feasible wayu which ius good for both of you.

Go & complain to the local bbb & also to the local rent control authorities.
Send them a strong letter to the apt that incase they trouble you you'll take serious legal action.

If req, file a case in small claims court.
