Seems pretty reasonable to me. They are running a business.
OK fine. but no apartment will hold a place for 60 days. every single time I have had to move, I have had to give a 60 day notice with no place to move to.
So you just tell them you're not reupping and are moving out at the end of your lease. You save the third month.
I rented for years before buying, moving many times, and never had a problem following the notice rules and avoided overlapping rents. No idea what it is like where you are, but rental turnover was high enough where I lived that it wasn't a problem. Just made for a busy month.
I learned a long time ago how easy it is to send someone a thank you card/note. I have about 10 different style cards to choose from on my correspondence shelf.
In doing transactions that start from classifieds - in my case buying a motorcycle off CL or FBMP - the first message I send includes my phone number & a request to call me so we can discuss things over the phone. Whenever I get a call back - it's usually a sale. There have been times when they continued to send messages instead of calling and it's very aggravating and a time sucker when things could move along much smoother on the phone.
This is what eats at me because there are times a text conversation will stretch over two days that could have been handled in a five minute conversation. It is very, very frustrating. I'm dealing with a roofer like this presently. I'm about at my wit's end with him and ready to move on.
Hey ... let's not bunch all our pet peeves up in one wad.
My problem with apartment living...you get a deal from them, say $100 off, to sign on and move in but after the first year they go up $100. The next year the same...they keep going up on your rent regardless of whether you are good, on-time paying renter. So, they prioritize new renters over keeping existing ones. Finally got fed up with that and bought my first townhome. Never looked back.
Except, with AT&T your account gets hacked.
I've always rewarded my good tenants by not raising the rent (or only doing so modestly) so that the rent they pay going forward is a little below market. I see it as a win-win. I let the tenant know ahead of time about this to incentivize them to be good (pay on time, take care of the property, don't bother the neighbors, etc.). I get a problem-free steady income stream. I don't want to have to get a new tenant. My manager will have to get the unit cleaned ($), and it will take a couple of months of not getting rent before the unit is re-rented.
