Okay, here's the situation.
I am finding someone to take over my lease next month. My lease ends July 31st, 2005. I need someone to take it over for 3 months.
I've been here for about 2 years now, and I renewed just like everyone else does last year. About 4 months ago, the management company was bought out by some other company.
Last year when two of my roomates left last year and found someone to take over their lease, here is what the procedure was. It was a 60 dollar application fee, and then you forfeited your deposit (200 dollars) to the new person taking over your lease. No big deal, that's how it works.
Well, my friend and I just got the new sublease form from this new management company. The new person coming in has to pay the standard 330 dollars (130 dollars for their application fee and 200 dollars for the security deposit) PLUS I have to pay an 150 dollar processing fee. :disgust: WTF. I do get my deposit back, big fvcking deal.
Now here's the thing. This is utter BS. I never signed anything new saying this was the procedure with this management company; I am still on the old contract from the previous company. What can I do? Is this breach of contract? I am so pissed off about this...I will be meeting with the apartment manager in 30 minutes. BTW, I'm in Florida if that helps.
Cliffs:
1)New management company
2)Change procedures without notifying tennants
3)...
4)Definitely no profit.
EDIT: For the people coming, I got a new townhouse starting May 1st. I will not pay for two places and only live at one...that's ridiculous.
