Should a one-year lease dated March 27th end on March 31st?
The apartment is a Tax Credit Sec. 42 apartment and my mom and I are approved Tax Credit Tenants. The owner/manager has been trying to get rid of my mom and me for months... probably even before we moved in. Two months after move-in, I was asked to swing by the office to sign a TIC. (Whaa? I already signed a TIC as part of the application process and will not sign another until my yearly review -- so I sent it back to the compliance department unsigned with a cover letter.) First, I get a certified letter on blank paper informing me that the owner/manager is exercising the option to not renew our lease... right before Xmas. There was an exchange of correspondence between me and executive management, and they now know I will hold over and wait for them to file an action against me. A week or so later, I find by my door an envelope with my apartment number on it and a pink slip inside advising me that when I get my new lease I will be paying a rent increase as of March 1st (not March 31st) some $15 more monthly. I did not know tax credit tenants' rents could be raised! The other thing is (I have done some research), maybe the owner/manager is using the building opening date (mid-February 2012) to represent month 1 for all tenants, which is why I get only an 11-month lease. This owner/manager offers no explanations/details; you just do what you are told. But I will not help them carry out malfeasance against the Treasury Department. Email deleted
