I have been subletting in an apartment since April. Been paying rent directly to the management company on time every month. The lease is up at the end of August. As instructed, I contacted the office and informed them of my intent to stay and sign a new lease before the 1st of August. Filled out the application and sent it last week (August 3) and haven't heard anything. I had been trying to contact them for the last week or so, and finally got someone on the phone today. They said they were checking my credit and would get back to me by this afternoon. They didn't.
I've been researching tenant laws online and haven't really come across any definitive answers to my specific dilemma.
What I need to know is if they can boot me out at the end of the month if I havent signed a new lease. I am pretty freaked out as there are only 3 weeks left in the month, I havent anywhere else to go or the money to go there.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
