Review: Vairo Village authorities have renewed the lease on our apartment for 1 whole year without providing notification in any way. They cited a clause in the current lease which stated that we needed to affirmatively inform them by Jan 31 in case we did not want to renew the lease after our existing term which ends tomorrow. Though we never signed the new lease( which further increases the notice period and requires tenants to proactively inform them by Dec 30), they hold us accountable for the rent for an entire year. Now that we are trying to find a set of people to replace us, they are imposing unreasonable terms and conditions like $500 administrative fee, income above a certain level, etc. We are emotionally and financially exhausted by this ordeal and need help as we are recent graduates without any financial means to hire a lawyer. Please help if possible.Desired Settlement: End our lease obligations for the new year( till 2016) and stop harassing us.
