Jodi Speaks Her Mind

Justice to be served… I hope 1/24/2002

For those of you who follow Speaks Her Mind regularly, you may remember this little rant I posted awhile ago. Well, through some info gathered from one of Steve’s co-workers, we found out about a wonderful little resource known as the Arizona Tenant Association. I called them up and shared our story and they actually laughed when they heard where we live! They said they have done 5 lease terminations with our apartment complex in the last 6 months alone! So we just pay a fee ($65) to join the association and then authorize them to process a lease termination and we will be free from the nasty stipulations in our lease (which as it turns out is unenforcable due to some non-compliance issues with certain Arizona laws).

Boy, is it going to be satisfying to get out of there without dishing out gobs money to the apartment complex. We’ll have to pay 60% of one month’s rent to the Tenant Association to process the lease termination but that is significantly less than the penalties stipulated in our lease. It is a day of good news!
