Is this enough to break my lease with no penalty?

i have gates at my apartment complex. my guest cannot enter unless they call me in the guest directory and i buzz them in. i've been living in my apartment for 4 months and my name is still not in the directory. when i have a guest i have to drive to the gate and open it. i've gone into the leasing office everymonth to let them know and they tell me it will be done but it's not. it's really an inconvinience. can i cancel without any penalty fees because of this?

I Highly doubt that this is a good enough reason to be able to legally break your lease. Maybe get a copy of your lease agreement and read it to clarify.

without seeing your lease, I can't comment.
However, you can do something else.

just like any repair need; call 2-3 licensed contractors and get a bid
to repair the problem!

Then, choose one of them,
pay to have it repaired, and subtract
that from what you send to the
landlord. [along with a copy of the repair bill.]

sorry about your inconvenience.

Ha. No. Nice try though.

Send them a certified letter stating you will withhold rent until you're given all the access priviledges of the other tenants.
