Buried on page 6 there was a new clause that lets them charge up to $125 “administrative processing fee” for any maintenance request. like i have to pay them to submit a ticket for something thats broken in THEIR unit
Also, they quietly dropped the required entry notice from 48hrs to 24hrs and added a $350 “lease admin fee” on top of first months rent if you ever re-sign
Ah, the hidden fees are where they always try to get you! This once happened to me, not with a lease renewal, but rather, with a first-year lease that I was about to sign. I had been told that I had gotten the apartment and that the monthly rent would be within the budget I wanted. However, upon receipt of the actual lease were several hidden fees, from a “move-in” fee to an inflated broker’s fee that was not disclosed to me beforehand.
Of course, when you are signing a first-year lease, you are more likely to read the fine print before signing, whereas in your third or fourth year in an apartment, you might get lazy and allow yourself to be taken for granted.
