ARBOR VILLAGE ABP ENTERPRISE,LLC MUTUAL AGREEMENT FOR EARLY TERMINATION WITH A 90 DAYS NOTICE WAS A LIE!!!!! DOUGLASVILLE Georgia

THE MATTER HAS BEEN RESOLVE ; WHICH WE ARE MAKING PAYMENTS ONLY WHAT WAS LEFTED ON OUR CONTRACT THAT WE SIGNED..  THOSE CHARGES THAT WERE ADDED TO THIS PROBLEM AND WERE OUTRAGEOUS WERE DROPPED.........

After enjoying that sentiment I feel it is necessary to examine the truth of the matter. A 90 day notice is just that, a 90 day notice. A contract is signed for a reason and both parties who sign are under obligation to honor it. It is not management's responsibility to babysit tenants and remind them when their lease is up, or how to end an agreement. Any landlord would agree that the burden is on the tenant to be aware of their lease ending date, and the contractual stipulations that surround it. A lease that automatically renews is not uncommon; further, it is not a landlords job to call you and remind you of that fact. Any 12 month lease can be broken for whatever reason, with the proper notice, in this case, 90 days. Whether residing in the home or not is of no consequence, as you are still responsible for paying the default of the contract. Not a full year, not six months, but 90 days. There are even further facilitations to shorten this term and are always attempted on behalf of management. Problems arise when people lie, and do not honor written or verbal agreements. Simply turning in a 90 day notice and moving out two weeks later with no word otherwise does not make the contract dissapear. It is hard to do a walk thru when someone leaves in the night. Again, that is your responsibility to communicate your true intentions with the landlord.

As far as unprofessionalism goes, all of the office staff are capable of taking a notice to vacate. The fact that you only wanted to work with one individual, the manager, does not make it acceptable to ignore your contractual obligations. Staff memebers are always on hand to help, whether or not they are who you want to deal with is irrelevant. The bottom line is that you abandoned a contract that still had monies owed, which did not go away. Many attempts were made to settle that agreement, to which you refused, prompting further action. After meeting in court, I believe an agreement was reached to pay off the balance, which could have been avoided if you had done the right thing from the beginning. The only SCAM is the one that you bring on yourself by not honoring what you sign and keeping your word. There will never be a time when we do not honor our agreements or make good on our promises. Yes, you were good tenants, but you handled your move the wrong way, which unfortunately reflects on your entire record. A good tenant pays their rent on time yes, but also continues to honor their agreement when they move and does not lie about their true intentiones. If an honest mistake occurs, a resonable effort should be made on behalf of the tenant to make it right, as that is what good tenants do.
