Can apartment management change move out date?

[Rebecca Graziano]

Hi folks!

I wanted to know if a property manager gives a moveout date to a tenant, and they turn in keys on that date and paid their final payment, can management change the date and charge more rent?

My husband had rented an apartment prior to buying a house for our relocation. His move out date per management was 9/5. His final move out statement showed a move out date of 9/5. However they charged him rent through 9/8 without discussing it.

Their argument is he is responsible for the 60 day notice period (which would have been 9/8) even though they assigned a move out date of 9/5. 

It seems very dishonest. He’s definitely fighting the management company on the extra charges.Just wanted to get perspective from any PM or apartment investors. Thanks!
