Our daughter got her first apartment earlier this year. She has a short-term lease which is up on Oct. 12th. She and her roommate were just told they have to give 60 days notice that they are leaving. Sixty days?! It has been over 30 years since we rented an apartment but always had to give only 30 days notice. The girls failed to read their contract carefully and didn't realize this. Now they have to pay an extra $400 for staying an extra week so they can give their 60 days notice.
The apartments are in Lexington Park, very nice, new, but they nickel and time you to death. They have to have the carpets professionally cleaned even though they are living there just five months before they move out. You also have to pay for pool use whether you use it or not. Back in the day, we didn't even have to clean the carpets, just vacuum them. That was the apartment managements job if it needed it. We always got our security deposit back because we left the place just as clean as when we moved in. My how times have changed. I feel sorry for young ones today just starting out. It is so expensive!
