Apartment complex is stating that I broke my lease.

First, check your copy of the lease to see when it starts the one year term. If this states July then your full year term would not have expired prior to your leaving. However based on the facts provided, it appears from what you wrote that the lease began in June when you moved in and began paying rent. Check your lease to see when it says the lease began. If your lease supports your side and collection efforts continue, see an attorney to defend yourself.
