The way this will work here is that if (IF) they decide to let me stay, I will be put on a month-to-month lease, paying an artificially inflated rent that they call "fair market value" or something like that. Basically, my rent would go up by $300, and they could still kick me out at any time for any reason. As to the why, I don't think they owe me any explanation, and the manager is one of those "Stepford" type women. Getting a straight answer out of her is like pulling teeth.
I am not expecting the entirety of my deposit back. It has been my experience that owning pets is like wearing a sign that says "take all my money please" to apartment complexes, regardless of how clean and non-destructive your pets actually are. Either way, though, any final charges or credits will be mailed to me within 45 days of my move-out date, so at the moment it may as well be non-existent.about the money..shouldn't they return you the money owed and the security deposit that you can then use elsewhere?
