People crack me up, why run straight to the attorney route? Management will let the victim out when required documentation is produced (police report or hospital record). They aren't obligated to let the others out under the law. People make things sooooo much harder than they have to be.
If my college-aged daughter had an intruder come into her home and sexually assault her roommate, the apartment complex had better let her out of the lease. I'd just as soon she not become another statistic.

I understand your personal feelings, but the law is very clear on this. They must release the victim once proper documentation is provided. They are not obligated to release anyone else no matter what mom/dad/attorney/cousin has to say about it. It isn't personal, it is just business.
Just to be clear; are you saying that the roommate was not a victim, just because she was not assaulted? her apartment was broken into. She was victimized. If this has happened in multiple units, the complex manager should have gotten of their backsides and done something to beef up security. maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Maybe they were afraid that a response would indicate culpability. Whatever, they should be as accommodating as possible to the victims (all occupants of the breached apartments, and working as hard as possible to assure other tenants they have taken steps to prevent further incidents. Will it be cheap? No, but it does seem top be necessary.
