euphronius posted:it’s literally the phrasing. there is nothing in there saying it’s the monthly price. it says it’s the term price Even in the one I cropped it says "at the above month-to-month rate" in the part you can see. When you sign the new lease its not going to be ambiguous.

the month to month language is in a different section (it appears to be the automatic renewal section ) compared to the the explicit term language

Actually funny story, I rented from random company A, they got bought by megacorp during my lease, then I rented from random company B, and they got bought by megacorp during my lease., and now I'm renting from megacorp at a 3rd property because that's all there is now.

Twerk from Home posted:In 4 months the numbers will be completely different. my previous landlord (not a mom n pop, company owning multiple 20+ unit buildings) had no provision for an early lease break. When I emailed them about it they just said “you signed a lease you have to stay/pay for the full term.” I had to call, at which point they said the same thing! I explained in detail that there can be a mutually beneficial outcome where I pay a “fee” of less than the remained of my term, and they find a new tenant to occupy the unit and end up with more money overall. The person on the line seemed to “get it” and offered to call back. Next day they came back with their offer: I could leave for free.

I had a similar situation once when I abruptly had to change jobs and move, and was told to pay out the rest of the term plus a fee for vacating the unit early or expect a court summons. Wiped out my savings.

I grew up a bit north of there. It used to be seriously bumfuck nowhere, but all the wineries and gated communities are turning it into a distant outgrowth of metro Atlanta. Gated communities in the mountains are so sad. You moved across the country to escape the city! Why are you still scared shitless?

Snowbird brain is a hell of a thing and the people afflicted with it do not make smart decisions despite sometimes spending years anticipating and planning every last detail of their move. It's a group that already self selects for being so wildly bothered by cold weather and snow that they uproot their whole lives (and often gently caress up the lives of their families by constantly insisting that they visit) to move to one of the shittiest states in the country. It's also a one-way trip for a lot of these people because they sell everything in their high CoL area to move to Florida, which makes doing the reverse completely impossible. As Florida gets even shittier and more unaffordable a lot of these people are going to keep chasing the dream in shittier and cheaper places.

My mom's neighbors in her retirement neighborhood are snowbirds who never actually made the move. They bought the house and installed cameras all around it that they monitor remotely from New Jersey, and whenever someone lets their dog walk on their grass, they call the management company to complain.

It's a very specific group of people who are totally unwilling to suffer any discomfort and who also have the means to move across the country to accomplish that. It's essentially impossible to be a snowbird and not be horrible.

Paradoxish posted:It's essentially impossible to be a snowbird and not be horrible. It used to be a very different vibe. I mean there was always a percentage that was terrible but now they’re all terrible. basically most of the good people got priced out. it used to be one could get a trailer for basically nothing and site rents were extremely low. it was a doable thing on just social security even, which is wild now that I think back about it. As the prices went up and the WWII generation died off that all changed though. Here’s a way to explain it, 30-40 years ago it was closer to Nomadland and now the Villages is pretty representative. Even the places that had old trailers then, they still have a lot of those same old trailers (which are now ancient), they’re just 100-200,000 ( or more ) instead of a few grand.

I had a coworker move to Florida because she "hated the cold" and was convinced her kids who are barely scraping by would hop on a plane once a month to visit her. Two years later and she's grumbling that her ungrateful spawn haven't even visited her once and that she's lonely down there. Many such cases.

That's kind of the point, though. None of the people doing this can afford to do those things and a good portion can barely afford the move for themselves, which means the current crop (and really all the ones that have gone for the last several decades) of snowbirds are a highly specific group of people who are like "it's cold so gently caress everyone around me." I know someone who moved back in with her parents to help care for her mom, and then 6ish years later they sold the house out from under her, moved to Florida, and were like "well you can come with us and sleep on the couch in this tiny condo if you want." Psychotic. My mom has a friend in her late 60s who abandoned her 80+ year old parents to a nursing home so she could move to Florida.
