Lease agreement is one-sided
March 28, 2025 - Reseña de Apartments.com
I recently tried to schedule a seasonal shutoff for my gas service. Columbia gas was very helpful, they said because I am a renter they would remove the gas from my name so the rental company could finalize the shut off. I reviewed the lease to make sure I was able to do a seasonal shutoff and to made sure that I wasn't obligated to keep the gas in my name. The lease did not indicate in any way that I could not so that. I scheduled the seasonal turn off for the 1st and let management know. The ...
property management repeatedly told me I “couldn’t do that.”
When I pointed out that nothing in my lease requires me to maintain gas service year-round, I was met with the same dismissive "you can't do that" instead of actual clarification or support. They are enforcing rules that are not in the lease, while ignoring the tenant's right to manage their own utility's.
If management expects tenants to honor the lease, they should be held to the same standard. I would advise renters to read every clause carefully, because enforcement seems inconsistent and one-sided.
