Consumer Dealership problem with new lease and old lease
15 months ago I was in an auto accident, my insurance repaired 5 month old car at a cost of $25k in repairs alone (the payout was $30k). 1 year later I want to upgrade to an ’06 model at same dealership that repaired my original car. I told the sales manager I was in an accident and their shop repaired it. I spent 2 days negotiating a deal that I ended up backing away from because I thought they were giving me too little for my trade in because it was in an accident. A week later I decided to go for the new car and I went back and they honored the original deal. During the document signing phase I also told the finance manager that the car was in accident but it was repaired by their dealership if that was a problem, he said no. Yesterday I get a call from the General Sales Manager who said that I signed an indemnity agreement which states ”vehicle does not have frame damage and if it does that I have to pay the ACV”. He said the car has frame damage and that we can swap the cars back and unwind the deal or I can pay $5k more to keep the deal. Here is my concern: After all the negotiation and me telling them the car was worked on they never once checked. Also, how can it have frame damage if they repaired it? Do I have any rights?

Apartment Rental Lease Break Fees collected unfairly
I stayed for 3 years continously. In Nov 2001 I signed a lease agreement for 6 months i.e., from Nov 30, 2001 to Ma 31, 2002 which said I will have to pay 1 month rent if I was to break the lease. I had to vacate the apartment by Mar 18, 2002, which is 2.5 months approx from the end of lease period and Payed 1 month of rent as Lease Break fees.
There are several reasons I had to vacate:
1) Lot of disturbance from the water fountains next to apt(Not maintained properly. Timings were irregular, I used on even in the winters from 6:30AM to 10PM.)Requested to change the timings and reduce the water pressure of the fountains. Was not done.2)There are 2 big red wood trees with all the branches covering the outside view of the apartments. Were not able to get the day light properly and see the outside view properly. Requested the Rental office several on occasions to trim the branches a little bit. Which was not done. 3) The Property Manager mentioned that if the tenant is having any Job layoff problems, she would not charge the Lease Break.

Apartment Community Guaranteed Heating and Cooling Cost
I recently completed a short term rental lease (7months) on a brand new apartment while my new home was being built. Outside the complex was an enticing sign that said, “VA Power presents $1.oo a day heating and cooling costs guaranteed by Comfort Home of Virginia.” We signed a lease and moved in December. January was one of the coldest and snowyest on record. I soon found my electric bills to be as high as my former(much larger)home. I approached the site manager on many occassions, even giving her copies of my power bills. She could offer
no explaination, only that she would pass it along to the complex owner. She did send a maintenance person once who said the themostat may have been installed slightly tilted which may have had an effect. They told me it would go back to the subcontractors. Bottom line–we moved out and nothing was done. I have called Comfort Home. They said that the heating/cooling cost were based on an averaged determined from a controlled study and what the owner chose to do with the info was his affair so far as advertising. VA power said the kilowatt usage was estimated very, very low in the controlled study and not realistic at all.
