I have been renting at Avalon Gates for one year. Our recent lease has ended as of July 15th, 2012. I'd recently had a question regarding my lease renewal offer in May and presented my questions to the local office. The office staff was wonderful, however, the my question was escalated to the office manager. In meeting with the office manager, I was met with immediate disdain and resistance. My intention was to discuss the issue, come to terms and renew my lease. Instead, I was made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome and this lead to a lapse in judgement in which I used profanity in our meeting. Due to this, the office manager has taken action to have a non-renewal of lease put in place.
Thinking better of my actions, I'd immediately sent an email to the office manager offering my apology and my concession was to agree to disagree and move on with my lease renewal. My apology had gone unanswered and I was informed that all further communication had to be through their attorney only. On July 2nd, I was notified by their attorney that I have until July 14th to vacate the premisis.
At current, my I still at my apartment and have not moved, as I am unable to find an apartment in our school district. While I agree my actions were not appropriate, I honestly believe they do not warrant the actions being taken by the landlord and have tried for two months to open lines of communication with the landlord to come to a resolution in this matter. To date, the landlord has been unresponsive to all of my requests. Due to this action, I am being forced to disrupt my family and remove my daughter from our school district. This is an action I am looking to avoid at all costs...
My desired resolution is to open a dialogue with the landlord and agree to stay at our current residence and to have our lease renewed. In my opinion, this is not an unreasonable request. All other experiences we have had at this location, with our neighbors, the maintenance crew, the staff, the community have been positive and favorable. This incident was unfortunate, however, in my opinion can be resolved amicably.
