My lease runs out at the end of this month. A couple of weeks ago I ran into the manager and reminded her that I'd need a new lease. Yesterday I ran into her just as she was leaving the office for the day, and she said I should come in today, when the assistant manager would be in the office.

This morning I went up there, and there was a sign on the door saying, "Out on the ground, back in ten minutes." So I walked out to the beaver dam and spent some time watching it, and then walked out to Canyon Rd and bought some coffee. Stopped by the office on my way back and it was still closed. Went back to my apartment and waited about twenty minutes, and went back and she was there.

I told her I needed a new lease, and she said she hadn't heard anything about it. She suggested I come back on Monday when Sharon (the manager) would be in.

At which point I lost my temper from all the run-around. "She told me to come in today!" grrr...

Not yet resolved, but at least she's moving. She tried to call Sharon, and left a voicemail for her. She can't do anything because she doesn't know how much my rent is supposed to increase.

I probably shouldn't have raised my voice. But for crying out loud, doing leases and collecting rent is their business. That's where the money comes from!

UPDATE: They finally figured out what my rent is going to be, at least. So I can pay it tomorrow, and then take care of getting a lease signed on Monday.

Every previous year my rent has gone up by $20. This time it's staying level. I don't think that in all the years I've been a renter that I've ever had that happen to me.
