I don't get it! They kick you out, and you supposed to tell them earlier? THEY should of told you earlier so you could have the time to find somewhere to live in!!!! Seems to me they only want to earn some extra money in a way or another.

I'd say, get a lawyer's advice, or just pretend that you've talked to one and that if they still want you to pay, next talk will be with your lawyer.

Heh, someone offhandedly said "Change is in the wind" to me, in the line at the building's cafeteria, yesterday. A minute or two later, I replied, "Better be careful, coins can hurt," and then had to explain myself ... There's an off-chance that I might be weird, but in a good way. ;-)

And don't worry, Ken: I had enough jobs that involved heavy lifting in my youth, so I know how to do it. Though it might be a trick getting a mattress and box spring down two flights of steps, solo.

Sed, I haven't even seen the exact apartment, yet. I've only visited the community and seen a similar unit that was unoccupied. It's a nice place, though, probably a little nicer than what I'm leaving, and after the increase, almost $100 a month cheaper. But I don't actually move in until Sept. 7th ...

Auto, I thought about fighting with them, but a lawyer would take the month's rent before they would even look into it. And I don't make a very convincing "tough guy". ;-)

I'll have an update for everyone, shortly (tonight if I'm lucky [or if you are?]) I did get the money worries solved.

Alternatively, you could look at the lease agreement yourself concerning advance notice. Regardless, I'd just contact the property management company and call them out on it. If they informed you of their decision not to renew the lease without giving you enough time to provide advance notice, then explain to them that that would be inherently unfair.
