wolfcreek?
i believe in NC you legally only have to give 30 days notice.

put it in writing and drop it off.

i think the NC law is 30 days unless it says otherwise in your lease and my lease says 60

11/10/2006 12:21:05 AM

I'd be looking that shit up quick
and if it is 30, be sure to print it out and turn it in

this just sucks, i dont understand why they want to screw us. it was due last week, they know i dont want to renew. why do they have to be assholes?

11/10/2006 12:31:45 AM

i guess im screwed because that law says 60 days for the rental of a space in a manufactored home, which i guess is this since its one bedroom of a 4-bedroom apartment

11/10/2006 12:36:43 AM

ya i believe it's 60

Talk to Student Legal Services. There are all kinds of ways to get out of those things - PARTICULARLY "automatic renewal" clauses.

NEVER take what an apartment complex says at face value. They are all out to screw you and get as much money as they can.

sometimes you have to learn the hard way - next time i bet you will read the lease

11/10/2006 8:07:45 AM

i guess im just gonna have to find somebody to take over the lease for me, i dont know how im gonna do that...especially in december

keep me posted if anybody knows anyone interested, rent is $300 a month, 4 bedroom apartment were all moving out in december

11/10/2006 8:58:16 AM

are you sure it renewed for a year and not an automatic month to month?



i cant see wilson properties playing this game

11/10/2006 9:08:57 AM

Just leave, dont pay. Tell them they were dicks to try and pull that shit on you, and if they send you any bills, they will hear from your lawyer. Stand up to them, odds are they will back down.

Lets say they assumed you were moving out unless you said otherwise you would have people bitching about the exact opposite. I can see it now....

Um No...that is how you screw your credit.

agreed

Give notice today, state that you will be willing to pay a pro rated amount for the extra days added to the lease, sjtu like you get if you move in halfway through a month, and state that you are willing to move out by date x, and that they may rerent the apartment as soon as you have moved out. You move on time, they get the apartment to rent, it costs you a wopping what $10 a day for the few extra days.

ditto, almost every lease I've seen works like this.

11/10/2006 2:05:13 PM

^ i believe that the automatic renewal is state law

11/10/2006 2:17:16 PM

State laws says that if you do NOT give notice to move out, and the landlords does NOT tell you to move out, you automatically continue month to month at the terms of your old lease IF no provision for said event is made in the currentold lease. Thus you can live some place for 300 a month, and after a 1 year lease, you might live there for months or even years, untill a new lease is signed you are still under the terms of the old lease.
