To Sign or Not to Sign

Once a year, just like clockwork, our lease expires.  I have lived in this complex almost 5 years, 2 with the "person I can't mention" and almost 3 with Bob.  Ordinarily, we have been given 2 months free rent to renew our lease.  This year they have decided to only give us one month.  I am NOT a happy camper, to say the least.

I have contacted several "Managers" up the food chain and they are not budging.  If I was feeling better, I would move.  Right now, I can't physically manage it and Bob doesn't want to do so.  So, at least for this year, I guess we're stuck here.

It's not that I am dissatisfied with the apartment complex.  It's okay.  They are very quick to do repairs and they have always maintained the grounds.  I just feel it is unfair for some tenants to get 2-months free rent, and some are not privileged to that option.  According to "one of the mgrs," the promotions are done due to accessibility of apartments.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see how many empty apartments there are on this property and know they have to be hurting for tenants.  How can all the 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartments be full and the promotion only extended to two bedroom tenants.  According to everyone I've talked with if we MOVED to a one bedroom, or a three bedroom we could get two free months.  AND, the three bedroom apartments are cheaper than the one we're renting now.

I really don't understand all the logic or lack of, from what they are saying but I will certainly think long and hard before I renew again.  Maybe by then, we can afford a house.  Who knows.  I wonder if "Ween" has thought about modeling.
