is this even LEGAL????

By lisa

I signed a 6 month lease for an apt., private owner, but apt was in condo association. 4 months into the lease, i got locked out of the apt. when i went to the office to have them open my door, they said “who are you?? we dont have you listed as a tenant!!” They basically told me that my landlord went against the rules, and didnt “get me approved” before allowing me to sign a lease and live there. (the association was supposed to do a background check, credit check, and i was supposed to give THEM a deposit before signing a lease w/ the landlord!!:  so they told me that i MAY be asked to leave.       I tried to contact my landlord who was unreachable, as she was overseas for the duration of my lease!!  so i just moved out. i didnt want to be homeless, or living somewhere illegally!! they WEREN’T even gonna let me back into my apt. when i got locked out  for god sakes, because i wasnt “listed as a tenant!!”   so now, the landlord is taking me to court, for 2 unpaid checks, (predated checks i gave her for the 5th and 6th month rent) which i called her “computer phone” overseas and told her NOT to cash, as i was moving out. she did deposit the checks, but they were returned, as i told her they would be.   anyway, doesnt the associations rules preceed any  written lease that her and i agreed to , based on the fact that the association MAY not even have approved me to become a tenant there??    OH<<< also, she didnt even give me a sticker to put on my car so that i could park in the parking deck!! (it was a gated community) I had to park OFF SITE> she said she ha another tenant in another condo there that was using the designated parking space. I should have known something was fishy before i even signed the lease.     WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN>   so what are my chances in court of getting this thing thrown out so i dont have to pay the last 2 months of rent???
