hello
i came across this page and just decided to give this a shot. Probably wont work but here is my story. Basically my fiance and I have 5 children, ages 14, 12, 10, 9 and 1. We have lived in our apartment for a year now and have never been late on rent nor have we ever had any issues with our complex. I was planning on renewing my lease with the complex and filled out the paperwork and thought ok we are good to go. Well on Tuesday I received a letter from the Managment team stating they are not going to renew my lease because I have 7 people in a 3 bd/2ba apt and by federal guidelines we can only have 6 people in our apartment. I advised the director that my original lease shows 7 people and why all of a sudden is it a problem. She said they should not have rented to me in the first place that she's sorry but they can't renew my lease. Ok fine, well also in the letter they sent me they are asking that I pay May's rent of $965 and also rent up until June 8th of $257.33 and on TOP of that I have to vacate the premises by JUNE 8th?!?! My problem is how in the world are my husband and I suppose to come up with money to move by June 8th and pay these people their rent. I am trying to get them to at least let me slide on May's rent so that I have something to work with as far as security deposits and first month's rent when I do find another place. Being that I have a big family I have to either move to a 3br HOME where they dont' really have to listen to all the guidelines hoopla or a 4 bdr home. Most places I have found would like $1000 for the first month's rent and $1000 for the security deposit. Clearly I am in no position to have this kind of money just laying around. Any advice, help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
