good to know people not liking you isn't limited to the internet.

Fucking lol

Also, after your cleaning rampage take pictures of EVERYTHING. Fuck even film on your phone, they'll try to nickel and dime you for everything. So, make sure you've got pictures w/ dates etc showing everything is clean/not broken etc.

True. Normally leases are pretty boiler plate and include a "broom clean" line in there somewhere. You're generally expected to clean any space you rent. I have never seen anything in a lease regarding paying for a professional service despite some of them trying to deduct it from a deposit we have given them.

If it isn't in the lease, don't pay it.

It could be area thing. As I said, I think I've only lived in one apt in cali where they didn't hire a professional. Some will just do wear and tear, some had it written in the lease and charged you. It's always good to find out if they are hiring one,because fuck if I am going to do above and beyond cleaning when it isn't going to matter anyway.

I always deduct the amount of the deposit from the last months rent. But i always left the unit cleaner than when i moved in so...

Small update. The new company my apt is owned by are fucking evil with fees.

If I transfer:
I lose my original deposit
Have to pay a new one
Pay new pet fee
Reoccurring $25 a month pet fee
Higher rent for new place($20)

If I leave: pay an extra months rent to end my lease and go somewhere else.



I have a meeting with the manager of the complex in three hours to try and negotiate the best possible end. A ton of tennants left recently and their places havent been filled yet so I have some weight for them to want to keep me. Especially since I haven't had a single complaint against me or late rent in two years.

Dude if you agree to any of that you're a fucking idiot. You've had shit stolen from your place. It has also been vandalized. These people aren't helping you out. They are taking more money from you. Tell them there is no negotiating. If they don't budge you will be ending the lease.

Unfortunately, I don't think your house getting vandalized is something you can break your lease over without following w/e was written in your contract. In order to break the lease without penalty the landlord/employees had to have done something wrong. Unless he could probe the LL robbed him, he's shit out of luck.

I would look over your lease though and see if they say anything in it about changing units. As I said above, most already have policies in place, so if your lease says something other than what they are asking, you can hold them to it. Otherwise, ya you can try negotiating, but they can charge w/e they fuck they want.


I honestly would just stay where you are at. Take the extra money and invest in some security cameras.

[Vandole]

The only problem is, my lease is with the old company. We have a new company. What I said in the prior post is the blanket agreement, and we're meeting to talk about it this afternoon.

Unfortunately looking like the best situation right now.

You can move into my house

I'm pretty much being targeted in my townhouse. My electricity meter has been stolen once, my motorcycle was stolen in august, and now my laptop is gone. The complex is going to let me transfer to a building on the other side of the complex in hopes that it ends. They won't really let me out of my lease, so this is the only option. Tentatively I'll be transferring buildings next weekend.

Do you guys have any advise on making sure I get to keep my deposit so that I don't have to pay any extra fees? My game plan now: I'm going to clean my apartment from bottom to top within the next few days and pack up most of my stuff. Then once we've moved everything out, clean again and spray lysol everywhere.

The complex is renovating these townhouses right when people move out, does this give me any leeway on keeping my deposit? The second I'm out of here, they are replacing the oven, fridge, dishwasher, and putting down hardwood floors. The appliances I have now are at least ten years old in here. So it's going to make them money to fix up this place and charge a higher price. They prettttty much want me to do this, anyway.

So yeah, tl;dr time: I'm transferring buildings, give me advise to keep my deposit and make this a smooth transfer.

What state do you live in? You need to look up the rental burdens on move out to see what they can do. Honestly in your situation, you are going to have no problem at all.

Irrelevant, and don't let them convince you otherwise. When a company buys a property, all previous leases are still valid.

This is probably another reason why they are trying to get everyone old out because they probably have their own leases for new tenants.

[edit] They may try to get you to sign a new lease even if staying, don't let them do that either.

You only have 1 month left on the lease? If that's the case pay off that month, get your deposit back, and go somewhere else. The fees they are trying to charge are crazy for just moving from one building to another. Especially the bit about losing the deposit, that's just a crock of shit.

[Vandole]

No. Unfortunately all this awful shit happened after I signed up for another year here.

[Tokitoki]

No. Unfortunately all this awful shit happened after I signed up for another year here.

So you're going to have to pay an extra month AND lose your deposit? Doesn't make sense to me. How'd the meeting go yesterday, what did they say? Is there anything in the lease that spells out defaults or what the deposit will be used for?

[Vandole]

Due to an emergency in the complex (something to do with dead squirrels in some asian girls apt) she pushed me off to today. Since I'm being fucked with so much, the apt manager is going to her boss to see what all she can do for me transfer-wise.

[Kohan]

Usually, a complex can't simply absorb your deposit because they want to. Just because they're doing something "special" for you means nothing. If there isn't anything in your lease stipulating that they may take it like this, it's illegal. Beyond that, even if there is something in your lease about it, if state law forbids it, the language in the lease doesn't matter.

I have no idea as to what your state laws are, though, nor where you live; all I've ever gleaned from your videos is that you live in a land of dirty clothes and trash bags.

[Vandole]

The dirty clothes not so much, but grocery bags yes. My cat loves them so I kind of leave a few laying around.

Which state do you let your cats shred your bags in? You may already be doing the research yourself, but if you want others to help you, it's important to know. Each state has different laws.
