My 1 year lease ends on June 30th, but I am moving out March 31st for a job in a different state.
I Prepaid the last months rent ($499), before I moved in, and have a $400 deposit.
I went to put in my 30 days and they said I have to pay $1500. They would apply my last month's rent to that, lowering it to $1001 and that I would be forfeiting my $400 deposit.
Here is the Lease Breach section of my lease:
________
LEASE BREACH AGREEMENT: I UNDERSTAND AS A PENALTY FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS APPLY
I am liable for rent until the expiration of the lease or until apartment is re-rented and re-occupied OR;
I will pay lease break fee equal to two (2) month's rent or $1,500.00 whichever is greater payable prior to move-out in the form of a cashiers check or money order ONLY.
________
So the "OR;" makes it read to me that it can be one or the other, and does not specify who gets to make that choice.
Am I wrong?
(The lease is full of typos, looks like they printed some random one off the Internet)
The lease breach section of the lease, and a separate page that they had me sign, have been attached.
