Copperfield Village in Houston was home for 2 years then family was moving to Arizona conveniently right when my lease was ending and I moved. I gave the complex 60 days notice, when they called asking me to sign a new lease twice in the two months before I moved I reminded them I had given them written notice and would not be renewing. Paid the rent all the way through the end of the lease, moved out, cleaned the apartment and even had the carpets done professionally, all nice and neat. Moved and was happy until IQ Data calls demanding over $500 for "insufficient notice"?! I called the complex and they told me they had taken my 60 day notice as a warning that I was thinking about breaking my lease early and had disregarded it since they asked for 30 days notice in the lease, I had brought them another copy of my notice in November when they called asking me to come sign a new lease in addition to the one I gave them in October. Can I seriously be charged a fee for giving a complex too much notice and not renewing my lease leaving a neat clean apartment paid in full through the end of my lease term? This is showing on my credit report and has now been there for 2+ years as I moved in Dec 2012.
