OK, this one is real kick in the pants. I got a call today from my future landlord
asking me if my moving date is flexible.
They have several people moving in on September 1 and they need some to shift
a day or two forward or back to accommodate the rush.
What makes this insane is that I was begging them to move
the date a month ago when I signed the lease (story here).
But they would not budge. I
pleaded. No luck. I even asked/begged/pleaded to change the
hour of my move earlier (from 5pm to early afternoon). They refused to give up
even a day of rent and moving up the time was not possible either because they
needed time for the paint to dry. I
wanted new paint didn’t I?
Now that I have locked in a move-out date from my current
apartment and reserved the movers for the afternoon, all of a sudden they want
me to be flexible. I am guessing that
everyone is in the same boat as me.
Movers get booked up and can’t move at a week’s notice. Move out dates get locked in because a new
tenant signs a lease to move in, so changing the date creates a chain of
problems. I experienced this the hard way
when I signed my lease in the first place.
And they should know – they are landlords and have new tenants and
departing tenants 100 times a year.
Give me a break!!!
