Whatt o do if I requested a particular model and floor from an apartment complex, but the one I signed a lease for is different?
Requested a particular model and floor from apartment complex. Requested to see unit I was agreeing to lease but was refused. Brought this all to the attention of the complex when I found out, but they said they could make it right but it would take 5 days and I had to be out of my old complex in 2 and had furniture delivery coming in 5 at that point. If it’s been a year, can I get out of the lease?

If you actually signed a lease knowing that it was for a different model and floor than the one you had requested, you are bound to the terms of that lease. It would be different if you had signed the lease for unit A, but were given, without your consent or knowledge, unit B; but if you signed a lease for unit B, knowing it was unit B, even though you wanted unit A, then you most likely are stuck leasing unit B, unfortunately.
