Stumped, I went to see my super to ask if I could move out at 8am on June 1st. Given that nobody is moving in right away, he said he couldn't see why that would be any problem. So I booked a moving company for first thing on June 1st and paid the $300 deposit. I'd be packed and gone by 10am.
Today the landlord runs into me and says that the landlord wants a full months rent for me to stay until 10am on the 1st.
The biggest problem I have is that the company hired doesn't do storage. There is no storage facility. So if I get them to pick it up earlier and live in a hotel for a couple days, they have no place to store it. If I go with another company, I lose my $300 deposit.
Any options? Ideas? Condolesces?  |
That sucks man. I would check first if the landlord can actually charge you a full month's rent for one day. That is outrageous and he/she should not be able to get away with that.
Now, if you check and the info favours the landlord then go with another company and loose $300 rather than a full month's rent. You could also rent a U-Haul, depending on how much stuff you have...I think they do offer storage but I'm not sure.
Good Luck!
