Lease renewal deadline while complex is breaching lease terms around entry. Charlotte, NC.

This is insanely long. I would consider a TL;DR if you want other responses and consider cutting this down to what's relevant to your legal questions if you want others to read the full post. You're conflating 2 different things here, in my opinion. The landlord's alleged lease violations do not give you a way around the 60 day notice/renewal provision. That means your practical choices are to decide to renew, give notice and move, or allow the lease to continue to month-to-month under the terms you've quoted. Separately, document and pursue any lease violations. If they're repeatedly failing to follow the notice requirements and give no notice, start formally responding/complaining to management. The broken A/C is also something you should be demanding repair for in writing. You can try to request written reasonable accommodations, but keep in mind the request needs to be reasonable in the sense it needs to not interfere with their operations and right to enter for maintenance requests. Asking for communication over email seems reasonable, but requesting a 2-hour notice window plus text 10 minutes before entry is simply not reasonable. Disability accommodations mean making reasonable changes needed to give you equal opportunity to use your housing, but doesn't mean you can dictate how management organizes its employees and communications. So- you have a couple avenues here to enforce your lease or explore breaking it if they won't work with you on these separate issues, but you still need to decide by the deadline if you're going to renew, give notice, or go month-to-month.
