Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida
Apartment lease dispute
I am told that I signed a lease for 13 mos, yet, they say my contract goes from Nov.1 2002-Dec. 31, 2003 (14 mos.) I also signed a move-out form stating move-out would be Nov, 30, 2003 b/c I was under the assumption that my lease was up at that time. They signed as well, now I hear that they are saying I have another month. Please Help. Please call if possible, my question is much more detailed than this. Thanks. p.s. I was also unemployed for 6 wks and therfore cannot afford the payment.

Re: Apartment lease dispute
If there is a conflict between the two documents, your interpretation will win, because they drafted them, not you. Try to negotiate with them to get out of that last payment, particularly if the two documents are hard to understand or clearly conflict. Chances are though that you were actually paying a month in advance, not a month in arrears, so have them map it out month by month and give you an accouting for all money paid, including your security deposit.
