What I'm saying is: on 8/1, I gave the mgmt. co. $1,300 security/holding deposit and I also signed a six month lease. Turns out I am able to stay in my home after all, and so I let them know on 8/15 via FedEx that I would not be moving in. However I am liable for the six months anyway or until the unit is re-rented. I never even moved in; it is ready to live in right now; and also, what difference does it make if I signed the lease on 8/1 or on 8/28 when I was going to pick up the keys?? Why would this make any difference between being liable for the lease term or them just keeping the security deposit? Let's just assume that I did not sign the lease when I put down the deposit and now I am not taking the apartment; why would me having signed the lease on 8/1 make any difference? I hope I'm making myself clear. Also it's not like I'm moving into another complex; I get to stay where I'm at; also I am sick with Hep C and was under tremendous stress when I signed the lease; I thought I was going to be homeless...so I just took whatever (this apartment is in a sorta crummy area) because I was terrified out of my skull that me and my cat were going to be out on the street. Now I get to stay in my home of 8 years. Sorry this is so long.
