More details to this question:
I signed a lease transfer agreement that legally released me from paying rent. My leasing company was bought be another and somehow the form got lost in the buyout. Now, that new company wants me to pay up. I DO NOT have the signed copy, although I do have the email that contained the unsigned form from the original leaser. Do I need to pay the rent if they were the ones who lost the signed form?

If they have a lease signed by you an obligating you to pay rent. Then you will need to signed release in order to defend yourself. If you do not have a signed release then it is likely that the management company can get a judgement for the debt against you.
Good Luck,
