And I think you should be amazed, as I am, at the deal you negotiated with the LL and his attorney! Well done!
Not only did you negotiate to stay longer, but all you had to give up in return is $135, an agreement to pay in cash until you're gone, sign an agreement that you settle for the above, and return the agreement within their time frame.
Of course, they had to save face by asking for cash and the deadline. But you really won here. Enjoy it
Exactly!! He got more than he bargined for..time to get off the dead horse.
This is the sort of thing low-income people regularly have to deal with; the management and maintenance suck, but they can't afford to move. If the management and maintenance are half as bad as described, this is already a low-rent property, and those residents who have not yet left are almost invariably still there due to financial constraints.
Actually, the property is in a decent area, and the building itself has a good atmosphere.
I was mostly satisfied for the first 17 years here, but then the owners decided to go in a different direction regarding the new tenants, so it is more stressful.
Under good management and ownership, this unit could easily command $900/month, so I decided to stick it out until turning 55 due to the cheap rent and good location.
I immediately began searching for a senior unit after turning 55, decided where I wanted to go, and put myself on the waiting list. I think it has finally paid off.
I was upset at the possibility of having to change my future living arrangements unexpectedly and without explanation, hence all the complaints about my complaints.
No, he hasn't left because he's waiting for someone in senior housing to die. He has a place to go (his parents, an extended stay hotel) but doesn't want to. He feels violated.
I am not " waiting for someone in senior to die".
I was trying to avoid the added expense and/or the inconvenience of moving twice.
Considering your complaints about the condition and management I'm surprized you are doing anything beyond looking for your next place.
Sounds like they gave you 60 days notice...Maybe they are going to do some refurbishing, or selling.
Have the other tenants received notice also?
So far, I am the only tenant that needs to vacate.
making a lot of drama over simple business. You do not own the property, maybe they want a spot for a friend or family member. It's their choice, no need to take it personally. They easily granted your extension so how bad can they possibly be?
If I buy a house that is currently under lease that I want to occupy, at some point the tenants will have to leave. It's not personal against them. I want my living space that I own and it's really that simple. Do I give them a 3 month extension if they need it? Sure. But at some point, they must go.
If anyone is interested - OP continued in a new thread titled, "Am I legally entilted to an old security deposit?" (original spelling).
yeah, I noticed that...not really that interested in another whine-fest...
