Should I fight this?????? |
I currently am living in an apartment and my lease is almost done THANK GOD! I found better apartments to move in to and yesterday the lady called me and said everything looks good except that the place I am at now is charging me $25 for rental verification. So when I called and asked them what that amount is for and why, the manager said because it was " TIME CONSUMING." No where in the lease does it say I owe them $25 for rental verification. When I went up to confront her this morning, the manager said that she didn't say that, and that the $25 is a special service the company provides. I am not buying this story, could some one please help me!! Thank you! That's b/s. It is amazing the things they come up with to take people's money. Call the place you want to rent from and tell them (though I think they are the ones who told you). See if the new place absolutely requires it in order to give you the apartment. If so pay the $25 and slash the tire of the ***** who took your money on the way out. Turn your back on that place and never look back. If the new place doesn't actually require it, mind you clearly you have lived there if not why would the place say they have to charge you in order to confirm it (sickening idiocity) then tell them to kiss your *** and slash the tire of the ***** on your way out (oh wait, I guess not for that). If you really want to get serious and have a little time and money you can sue them for "specific performance" of a breach of contract, b/c the $25 charge is not in your lease and is not contemplated by the leasor, then the common practices or norm of the industry rules apply and they have to perform what is usually done which is confirm you were a leasor to a new prospective leasor. This will of course require a court order and they likely get away with it b/c getting an order like that would cost alot more. I'm sorry this happened to you but I'm serious - payback the jerks that abuse you in life. Just give her the extortion fee. It is not worth the hassle unless you only have 12.00 to your name in which case this is still a bad decision. Yes, fight it... im not good with that kind of stuff but that seems liek bullshit to me..i would say fight it, even though its 25$ it could have been alot worse but still dont let them take advantage of u Its sounds like a credit check fee. Which is quite standard and hard to fight. Not all places do it, but some do. They should have told you before hand though. But fighting for 25$ is hardly worth the effort anymore. well if its not on the lease... then um u can fight it... and just.... i dont noe... or. u can pay it if u want.. or if u dont have enough money at the moment to pay the 25 dllrs .. than... let me noe and i'll pay it for u What the heck is the problem. If you think the product or service is worth x dollars, buy it. Otherwise, don't buy it. What on earth makes people think that they have any right whatsoever to a thing that doesn't belong to them at a certain price. The only fight you should wage is looking for a better deal. The other guy will lose out by losing your business. |
