I feel so special

Postby avalen » Mon Dec 07, 2009 7:48 pm

I feel so special, I got a call at work today, actually two calls....
one from my daughter said it was really important to call her back
and one from the office here at the park. They received my note
telling them I was vacating the space next weekend. Well, they
cried, and they had called my daughter too, like she was going to
change my mind. They asked me to stop by the office and lets
work a deal cause they didn't want me to move out. They said
I'd been here a long time, and they never had one complaint
about me and I was not one of their "problem" tenants and that
I worked hard trying to make a living, yada yada yada. Please
stay they said. They wanted to help me get through these financial
hard times that everybody is having. So, here's the deal.....
No increase in rent, the lease stays the same. Of the two months
rent owed, (november and december) They will write off one month
and I will pay the other one, thats not all though....
for the next year they will give me one month free in the summer
when I need it the most, you know, like when we barely work any
hours and the electricity runs sky high because everybody is running
the ac. So, how cool is that? I feel so special, and I've canceled my
move. YEA!!! I GET TO STAY!!!
With the rent staying the same, the difference in the two playes is
only $47 dollars a month, then tack on the extra $10 a month in gas
I'm only saving $37, so thats not worth moving out of this SAFE area
and into a family park that I know nothing about.
Now I have to clean my yard, cause I hauled all kinds of stuff out of
the shed, :lol: but what the hey, some of it needed to be pitched out
anyway.

Sounds great!

Now have them put it in writing about the free month in the summer when you need it! :D

yep...that part about being a good tenant really does make a difference...... and it is better for them to cut you a little slack than miss your entire payment..... :)

Done, in fact she sent all the details to corporate on the email, and read the email
to me and the other office manager.
The bottom line is they don't want this slot to get empty cause they don't know
what will get into it next, and she did say that too.

Holy smokes! That is so super duper awesome Ava. WooHoo!!! So happy for you!

For sure they don't want to lose a good tenant, cause they and you are right. They have no idea what kind of creep or low life would move in.

That's great, Alice. It really is a lovely Park, I can see why you would want to stay there. And the best part is getting acknowledged as a desirable tenant. That has to make you feel good. Well done!

What a great deal. I know you like the park you're in - I know I liked the park you're in - great place, lots of amenities - and you feel at home and safe there. No moving to the unknown now. So glad they recognized your value! And that you could work this out. And how neat is it that they are willing to help out in the summer when you need it most. And writing off one month for you now. Wow. I've met you and know you're a special lady - but for a landlord to do all that, yep, that impressive.

So happy for you!
