TIFU by signing a lease without reading it, and ending up owing thousands of dollars for an apartment I can’t move in to
I applied for an apartment a month ago and was told I’m all set for the reservation and was given a move-in date.
Day before move-in comes and they send the agreement over. I hastily signed through it all without reading it, in good faith under the assumption I was signing for the apartment I actually applied for.
Little did I know, the management had taken it upon themselves to “upgrade” my reservation to different floor plan. One that cost $600/mo extra than the one I applied for.
When I told them that was bullsh*t and that I couldn’t afford the apartment, they told me I was SOL and must pay to break the lease since I’ve already signed it.
They want two months rent, totaling $2700, and I will also not be getting the $400 security deposit back.
TL;DR Don’t ever sign a contract or lease before reading it. Hopefully at least one person who reads this can learn from my mistake.
