I recently moved out of Tremont Apartment homes in Atlanta and I must state that the move out experience has not been good. The associate community manager told me that I would be responsible for 1 month's rent early termination fee due to the fact that I had to break my lease early. I trusted that she was providing me with the correct information. However, upon moving out my final bill was around $5000. I called the associate manager and told her that my final bill was not calculated correctly. She in turn contacted Aimco management which stated that the amount due was correct. Evidently, around the time I signed my lease, Aimco increased its early termination fee to 3 months rent. Yes, you read that right, Aimco will charge you 3 months rent if you have to terminate your lease early. I signed a 7 month lease and lived at Tremont for about 3&1/2 months, so essentially I would be paying the remainder of my lease with this charge. Needless to to say, I believe the termination fee is unethical and excessive. I would not recommend moving to these apartment homes due to the excessive fees imposed by Aimco management. There are much better options in the Atlanta area especially if you may have to terminate your lease early.
