Worked out well for them as they are making an additional $300/month.
Our possession date in our new home is July 3rd, therefore our move out date in the rental is July 5th. Pretty random days so I feel fortunate the new tenants were able to work with that date.
We are paying a $250 re-listing fee which IMO, is fair as the management company needed to re-list the property online and take part in showings, credit checks, etc.
Went with a higher down payment; I believe it ended up being some random number like 14.6% or something.
Hmmm, decently close, yes. We are moving to 19th ave and 44th st.

Good result. The re-listing fee is reasonable even though you leaving actually benefitted them to the point they gained and it is arguable the fee shouldn't be paid, but I wouldn't make any issue of it. Congrats on the purchase and its good to see your landlord/manager treated you well, as they should.
