Didn’t you read your lease?? You posted it, but did you read it???
No I did not read it until yesterday.

So, you and most everyone is saying, go in a give a written notice even though it's 9 days late and this will be the total due.

Right?

I'm going in at 1 pm TODAY.

They now want to charge me $500 to move. What? Is this legal?

Thanks,

Did you give notice that you were moving/ending the lease and moving or did you walk in paid the rent then said I’m leaving tomorrow?

You signed a lease without reading it? Why in the world would you sign a legal, binding contract and NOT read it?? Never, ever do that again.

You HAVE to give notice.. either you’re renewing or vacating....the landlord uses this notice to a) draw up your new lease or b) advertise your unit and arrange for cleaning/updating.

Only your lease and landlord can tell you the total amount due.

You moved from one apartment to another about seven months ago. I'm guessing that you owe them deposit money. Your deposit doesn't transfer 100%. You get the deductions taken out and then you must top it off.


If you want to move at the end of September, you were required to give a written notice that you were moving. You must pay 30 days of rent from the date of the notice. if you haven't given notice, you are paying for more days of rent as you go along.

Who reads the entire lease? Everyone with even a drop of common sense. it's a legal contract that you are binding yourself to.


Each and every one of my tenants reads the entire lease before signing it. If there are two adults, they both read the entire lease. They make sure they understand what the terms are and they ask questions.


I will not permit a tenant to sign the lease without reading it.


If I am signing a contract, no matter what it is for, I read the entire contract and make sure I understand it before I sign it. It doesn't matter what sort of contract.

You folks are ALL correct. It was because of the 30 day notice.

Yeah, stupid me for not reading the entire lease. Never again!

Just came back from talking to the manager. I signed a 30 day notice on 9/5.

So, to encapsulate:

-have until 10/5 to vacate premise and return keys
-portal was incorrect
-10/1-10/5 $183
-month to month $100
-insurance $10
-utilities $21

Total I owe by 10/3 is $314. The section these charges apply too is in Section 5 Part A. Post #27

"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"

Thanks all of you for your input. I will go through the thread and rate posters.

Hope it helps someone,
Robert

Maybe I should, because I KNOW that she will not rescind the $500.

Robert
Again, why not call the leasing office and ask THEM where it is in the lease?

Wtf...dude YOU are supposed to read and understand what you are signing? When you buy a car do you just sign and walk away?

When I sign a lease with a tenant we go through the whole lease. All 11 pages. The reason I do this is because people like you used to get lease violations and would come to me with a attitude. So now I make sure they READ the leas and initials on every page and the signature. This way they can’t come back and say stupid **** like I’m screwing them or they didn’t see that on the lease...it’s there....you initialed and signed it.

Before I signed my last loan papers on my newest house purchase I went though pretty much every page. That was after I paid my lawyer to make sure they didn’t try to play games. I dont trust anybody when it comes to documents
