I signed a lease for an apartment with Ace Realty in June 2017. In August 2017, my apartment building was bought by another company called Prime Realty. Prime Realty never sent me a new lease agreement to be signed after change in ownership.
Now, I've left that apartment and Prime Realty is refusing to refund my Security Deposit saying that I did not give them a 30 day advance notice for termination (which i couldn't because of certain life events happening quickly).
Prime Realty has emailed me the lease agreement from Ace Realty verbally telling me that lease agreement carried over and that they won't refund me because i gave them a short notice.
My question is can Prime Realty do this without me ever signing a contract with them? Is the old agreement from Ace Realty enforceable even though building is now under Prime Realty ownership and i never signed a new agreement?
