Property Manager Retaliates Against Tenant-Blogger by Claiming Lease Violation For Disturbance

Within minutes of arriving back at my apartment this afternoon, there was a loud knock at my door followed by a voice announcing the it was the management at the door.
I opened the door to see Landmark at Rosewood property manager, Jennifer Dales, assistant manager Nikki Meadows and an un-identified officer (I don't know if it was an off-duty Dallas policeman or a security guard).

Nikki Meadows handed me a notice of lease violation that stated I was in violation of my lease contract. The explanation listed as follows:

You are in violation of your lease contract - Paragraph 20 you must remove your blog ads from your vehicle immediately. If this is not corrected by 3-12-2014 you could be charged an initial lease violation fee of $100 and $50 per day after until the issue is resolved. We will take any legal action we feel necessary.

Here is the lease violation that I was given: (click image to see larger)

Tenant Files Law Suit

I will be giving written notice that I am terminating my lease without liability according to Texas Property Code Section 92.056. http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/txstatutes/PR/8/92/B/92.056

I am planning to vacate very soon as I expect management to file an eviction case against me if they have not already.

I filed a law suit this week against Landmark at Rosewood LP for the main purpose of asking the court to terminate the lease and waive future liability... Exactly what I had asked management for but was denied. The suit goes into detail with much more than broken water pipes however. The suit brings to light other repairs that were mishandled as well as deceptive business practices by management and documentation of lies told to avoid accountability.
If management would like to avoid all of the documentation becoming public record and simply terminate my lease and waive liability... They have until I vacate. After that, this will go the distance and be decided on the 28th of March.
