Hi everybody. Sympathy, compassion, and chainsaws if needed to connie and ND.
We moved this weekend. We didn't mean to, but Thursday night the realtor who's been showing our rental TH rang our doorbell in a flat panic. Seems she'd found new renters, who had signed the lease and paid their deposit on June 27, and were going to be arriving with a truck full of stuff from New York on Monday.
Nobody had bothered to tell us.
I can't decide if our property managers are just that dumb, or just that criminal. They were honestly surprised that we were staying through the end of the month. We said, "But you cashed our rent check for the full month...on July 5."
They might have been trying to get double rent for half the month, who knows.
We explained that we still had over 10,000 lbs of stuff in the TH, and with 48 hours notice we could not move out and meet the terms of the lease, which include a professional cleaning.
No answer. So we put out the call for friends to help us move, and maybe to help us move bodies.
I'll skip the rest of the weekend's hell, but we got totally moved out of the TH, and the PMs decided they couldn't waive the terms of the lease, so we have the TH until the end of the month. I can only hope they are losing major money regarding the new tenants.
