Nobody can answer your question without knowing the terms of your lease. And, the only thing you've said that is pertinent to anything, is "we have a lease..." Too vague for any meaningful answer.

The lack of paperwork does not change that. They can always claim a verbal month to month lease which is just as enforceable and requires no paperwork. The judge already said they can sue you for September rent, so what makes you think you can go against that? Judges do not let tenants get away with crap over clerical errors.

Basically your residency was based on your girlfriend working for the complex. You can't live there for free and you should have paid Septembers rent.This is about the stupidest thing i've read today,Grow up and pay your own way and stop trying to be a bum and get a free ride.

Ensure that you have followed all your obligations for the periods in which you 4 were only renters. (pre and post job) 2) Determine Labor laws applicable to special agreements. Was a written agreement required regarding the free rent? Does her job description or the company's internal HR policy state anything pertaining to the free rent deals? 3) Unfortunately, not paying the rent for Sept. may reflect badly... It can show you don't always fulfill your obligations. It is usually better to pay and be reimbursed for a questionable debt. Best thing to do is to determine who has broken what laws based on what was required, and reiterate them to the judge. If you have broken any laws, be sure to state why; especially if this manager is the reason those were broken. If you made extra efforts at all that were not required of you, be sure to tell the judge of those instances as well. He may determine that "hey, they did all they could in the circumstance... the manager has no claim..." If not, at least you now know the laws and can protect yourself from further instances such as this one. ***** With regard to update ***** Better to worry about the situation between the manager and yourselves. The phrase: "Life isn't always fair." comes to mind. For the case you are in right now, your not proving that she doesn't treat people equally, just that her treatment of you was unlawful. Frankly, the judge can't do anything based on "That's not fair!". He needs a law or documentation to help him make the correct decision. You could always persue a counter suit later based on how she treated you, depending on the laws in your state, of course.
