Moveout fee - implemented during lease term

[Nick Arenaso]

Hi All

The HOA where I am renting an apartment implemented a move out fee mid lease. Now that the tenants are moving out, they have asked that I pay it. Since it was not on the lease agreement, i assume I am on the hook for it.

Any experience with this? Should i ask the mgmt company for a waiver since it was introduced while I had a tenant in there?

I will also mention that I allowed the tenant to end their lease a month early saving them a couple thousand dollars. I'm a little upset that i accommodated that request yet they are asking me to pay a moveout fee. It just flies in the face of acting in good faith in my opinion.
