UPDATE: So a lot of people assumed they wanted to remove us. You were wrong as were we. They wanted to trap us into a month to month lease. We gave notice this week after taking the advice and locating another place. Thankfully it's larger and way better for us. However, we spoke with the complex yesterday.
The complex told us that our CORP has refused all and any communication with them related to our lease and they are willing to put us month to month at $2100/mo and that we would revert to paying CORP if we wanted to stay. This means we would have been hit with ~2500/mo rent due to their mark up. This wasn't because they wanted us to leave. They wanted to bleed us dry. Our current rent is $1641. The corp pays $1400. The renewal would have been $1882/mo for 15mos. Absolutely not.
We now have written communication from the Complex that starting 9/1 the CORP will be responsible for the month to month and all notices have been given an accepted. However "due to lack of communication or response we are terminating responsibility to X leaseholders as of 9/1)". Our CORP requires 7 days which they were given.
So Thankfully I dodged an even more expensive lesson because yall convinced me they wanted me out. Lol good ol Reddit.

Yall this is so much more complicated than "your apartment company sucks." You're probably right. But I am convinced this has something to do with our current lease.
Context: we had to sign a corporate lease. This meant we paid 20% more in rent and paid $1k risk fee + $0 applications + 0 credit checks. I was mid divorce. Just moved across the state. And desperate.
Fast forward to July. We are serviced an eviction from said Corporate company for being behind. We paid it 7/21. Court was 7/24. We show up and everything is dismissed. I req an updated ledger that entire week so I could initiate a new lease directly with the building and pay less rent. 7/28 I received a ledger with my Aug rent listed as a balance to be paid. Que me being pissed because now we CAN'T resign with our building until the balance is $0.
Beginning of Aug: Aug 4 we are served AGAIN for an eviction notice. However. It wasn't addressed to US. It was per the CORPORATE we signed with. I find out the next week that said Corporate paid the $3.7k missing rent the day before I stopped in. Don't get me started on that whole thing....
Now: my building is no longer accepting CORPORATE due to probably loads of issues. We have been calling to resign directly for over a week and "they're working on it". Something about going from a corporate lease to regular.
I've never had to beg someone to take my money but here we are. We have 6 days left on our lease. I'm scared af.
