What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My family and I moved into a brand new apartment complex almost two years ago. We are planning to move at the end of January. We have to give them a 60 day notice before moving out. I called and talked with the apartment manager at the beging of the month asking her if we decided to go month to month after our lease was up how much it would be. She told me it would be the fair market value of the apartment ( $1055.00, we pay $850.00 now) plus a convience fee of $200.00 so we could do that or sign another 6 month lease and our rent would go up to $1000.00. I told her look even if I give you notice now it will be less then 60 days notice. We can work with you on that. So this morning I wrote a letter explaining we would be moving at the end of Jan. The assistant manager then called me and said it was not enough notice I then explained to her the conversaion I had witht he manager. The assistant manager then said you have a balance of $455.00 I asked for what she said for 2 pets told her I did not have any pets and never recieved any notice about it. She then said I am looking at a copy of it right now that it was posted to your door. I explained to her I never got it therefore was not paying it. So my questions are as follows.
1.) Our lease does not expire untill midnight on 2/1/09 if they evict us for non payment of a lease violation that I never recieved does that void our contract and we do not have to worry about the reminder of our lease.
2.) If they evict us how long do they have to give us to move out?
3.) Can they legaly hold us to a lease violation that we did not recieve? Don't they have to show proof that we recieved it.
Thank you for any of your advice in this matter
