Broken lease?

Question

my lease is up in a couple of days. i was planning to stay until family issues arose. i've moved out all my things & told the apartment manager that i wasn't going to rewew my lease. because i didn't give a 60 day notice, they want me to pay $1470 (extending my lease 60 days & no relent fees) however i received the renewal offer with the new rent rate 53 days before my lease expired. would i still be liable in paying $1470 if my apartment complex failed to give me their 60 day renewal offer with the new rent rates? i was once told that if the apartment complex failed to comply on their end, then the contract would basically be annulled, can that apply now?

Answer 1

If your current lease requires a 60 day notice to terminate, then you are on the hook for the two months rent at your current rate.

You are essentially holding over for failing to give proper notice.

The renewal offer in this case, is irrelevant. You are being held liable for your current lease's termination notice terms.

Answer 2

NO - If you leave without giving proper notice it is going to cost you some money - PERIOD.

Answer 3

Sounds like it. As long as the thing is dated, and can be proven that it was issued 53 days before end of contract..

Answer 4

I'd say a lot of things matter.For a start if you have not:

--Look up the lease agreement  for clauses where the lease is void or excused for some reason.

---Also would depend on your current state your staying.

---Next thing I'd to is call up Better Business Bureau or any other  Consumer Rights incentive  in your state  and engage a free lawyer because if they have not  mentioned the leeway clauses, in your lease, it would be decided per the law of the land.I can see that there is scope to flaunt the agreement that locks you in but  how well it can be implemented is governed by the law of the State.

--Finally Give an Ad for  the apt to be leased at lower rates etc and find someone who is willing to take up the lease.

-make sure you dont get smudged in the renters credit or whatever. It should not affect your housing history. These people  maintain this housing history so that they can twist the consumers arm , into extorting more money whatever way they want.
