Not too many of us take the time to read the fine print on the contracts we sign, though I’d wager most of us know that we really should. It could come in handy if people try to pull one over on you – something history proves will happen at least a few times in all of our lives.
This woman, though, was no fool – and the leasing agent who tried to get her for an additional $4k learned the hard way to better choose her marks.
The tenet won a free year’s lease at a charity auction, but wanting something less expensive at the end of the free gig, she decided to move on somewhere new.
She ran into the leasing agent and let her know with a month to go that she wouldn’t be returning.

The agent got nasty without hesitation, informing her tenant that she had missed the requirement to give 2 months notice and would therefore be liable for two months rent at the “new market rate.”
The woman said she would read over the lease and get back to her.

The tenant came armed with black-and-white – the actual lease that said the leasing agent was the one in the wrong.
If rent was to be increased, she was required to notify the tenant by certified mail at least 2 months in advance.

They got into a brief tussle about whether “required” is actually, you know, required, but everyone in the room knew the tenant had won.

Yes, call corporate. Let’s see what they say!

Surprise! She never heard a peep and moved on with her life.

Read the small print, friends.
And that goes double if you plan to use it to take advantage of someone else.
