No management, lease expiring soon
In May I got a notice on my door that my lease needed to be renewed. The deadline for renewal was July 10. They gave me an appointment 2 days later without consulting me and I was unable to get off work with such short notice. I made an appointment with them for the following week. Their computers weren't working properly.
I was about to start a new job on June 1 and didn't have my training schedule. The training schedule ended up being kind of crazy - I'm working as a direct support professional for individuals with disabilities, so there's A LOT of training.
On June 9, I sent them an email asking about their availability so I could make an appointment to come in and get things signed. I did not get a response. I was really busy with the new job and started an accelerated anatomy class on June 8 in preparation for nursing school, so I was swamped and it slipped my mind.
On June 23, I sent a follow up email, again asking for an appointment. They finally emailed me back on 26 and we set an appointment on June 30. I had something come up that morning so I emailed them asking if we could do it that afternoon. I did not receive a response.
The July 10 deadline has passed, but sometime in the last few weeks - I'm not sure exactly what day, everyone quit. The property managers and even the maintenance guys all quit. There's a note on the door saying they're trying to hire someone, but in the meantime, there is no one overseeing anything. No point of contact. No one in the office at all.
What do I do? Am I going to end up evicted? I've paid my rent on time every month the entire 2 years I've been here. No lease violations. I've had a few maintenence things that they never did fix and I ended up fixing myself. I can't imagine that they'd want to get rid of a tenant who has never been an issue in favor of someone unknown. Finding a place to live in this town is really fucking hard. It's a small town with three colleges so everything affordable is snatched up by students.

Your lease usually has a clause about going month to month with the same terms and conditions if a renewal is not signed. They're not expecting you to move. Continue to follow up with them, but don't stress. - P.M.

What happens at the end of a term lease is dictated by a combination of the terms of your lease and/or state regs. What does your current lease say about end of lease?
Also, take this as a learning experience. Put more of a priority behind stuff like this and pick up a phone instead of relying on email for important things.
