| Re: Notice of Lease Termination/Non-Renewal from Apartment??? My sister was in the apartment industry for 12 years. Let me see what I can find out for you. She's out of town, so I might not be able to get back to you until later tonight.
Is your lease a standard TAA lease?

| I'm also considering contacting the various TV stations & Newspapers with our case on Monday as I'm not sure how many other upstanding citizens have been done over like this.
I'll do what it takes to keep my kids roots planted till early summer when we do get into our home. | |

| I currently own a home, but am looking to ditch it and begin renting sometime in the next ten years or so, and do not plan on owning again. Your position certainly concerns me with my future plans.
I have never renewed a lease on an apartment; I was one of those wandering souls, before I built a home.
so, pardon my ignorance but....
Isn't the whole idea of the lease term expiring so that either the leaser or the lessee can get out of the deal with no repercussions?
I certainly understand your position and hope that when I get rid of my home I find a place to rent and would like to stay there for years and years and years.

| A lessor can certainly choose not to renew a lease; however, they need to have a legitimate reason to do so. Think about it. Most of these management companies are managing these properties so that the owners could make money. Why in the world would you suddenly decide to kick someone out that is paying rent on time (and helping the owner achieve their financial goals?)? Doesn't make sense. I would consult an attorney.

| Legally, boh the property owner and the tenant can choose not to renew the lease for any or no reason. You might be able to embarrass them into renewing for another term by going to the media, but you should be prepared to leave at the end of that new term.
If you are unsuccessful in getting a renewal, you might be able to keep the kids in their current schools for the rest of the school year, so long as you stay in the district. You might call the district offices and ask. | |

| IF you are permanently disabled I would definitely throw that out at them. It sounds very much like discrimination to me and I am sure a few attorneys out there would think so also.
You do have rights, stand up for them and find out why they are doing this. Good luck. | |

| Re: Notice of Lease Termination/Non-Renewal from Apartment??? I agree that something smells fishy here. They are a for profit company so why would they get rid of a paying tenant and have to spend at least $1000 on new carpet and paint and risking the apartment being vacant for a month or two ...or more? Is it the nazi flag on your patio? I'd play the discrimination card and try to get the real answer so then you at least you know what your up against. Do you get subsidized rent and maybe they are tired of working the system to collect?
I might be able to find someone who can help you for free with representation. I'll send an email. There's a guy that I help out who is on section 8 and he is heavily handicapped from a gun shot to the head. He was evicted late last year and this attorney had that reversed. I'll try and find out who that guy was and privately email you his contact info. | |
