なくてはいけなくてもいいです is incorrect.
〜 (し)なくてもいい = not have to (do)
〜(し)なくてはいけない = have to (do) / must (do)
*I think it seems that the translations are completely different (/opposite) for you, please get accustomed to them little by little.
if you have to leave = もし行かなければいけないなら
if you have to go home = もし家に帰らなければいけないなら
You don't have to come. = あなたは来なくてもいいです。
I don't have to study today. = 私は今日、勉強しなくてもいいです。
I hope this helps you.

A supplement to Ryoko's excellent answer, never say "You don't have to come. = あなたは来なくてもいいです。" alone, this expression is considerably rude, so "(残念ですが)来れなくても大丈夫です" (avoid あなた、いいでです） is safe.
