The Lease Agrrement I Signed Contained The Correct Number Of Months But The Wrong Dates, What Can I Do?
The management company offered 3, 6 or 12 month leases. I singed for a three month lease (it is on the lease), but the dates on the lease state a period of four months. I contaced the rental manager and he corrected the dates. Now the rental property is under new management and the manager does not work there anymore. They are now saying that I owe money for another month of rent. What should I do?

How was the correction made? Was it actually documented and signed on your copy of the lease? If you have a signed lease with the correct dates initialed by the previous manager, you should be able to make your statements stick.
if you have proof for the correction then you do not owe anything. If you can not proof that then you will owe up
What are you trying to do? If you have paid for three months, then you will have receipts for them. You should have no problem with that.
if the advertisement was 3-6-12 and you have that ad, claim a lease vacated as it was inadvertently mismarked and the vagueness of the months contradict the ads in the beginning.
just because the new company has their opinions, they must abide with the prior companies ads for tenancy.
explain that to them as they placed other contingencies in the lease that were contradictory to the ads.
The same thing happened to me. The apartments held me to the date that was on the lease that I signed. Sorry. Lesson: Get the change in writing next time.
Some rental properties will only allow your lease to end at the end of the month, therefore if you moved in on August 20th, that month does not count as a full month, so your lease would actually end at the end of November, which is actually 3 1/2 months. maybe this is why it seems like 4 months instead of 3? that is my guess.
If you signed it as well, you are stuck for 4 months rent.
huh
