Business ProfileforArdent Property Management, Inc

In April of 2023, I went through leasing option for 2bd at ***************** located at *******************************************. Ardent Communities ************************************************************, ************, ******************************* Prior to signing lease, the manager and I went over the lease and I informed him that I was not sure how long that I would be renting because I will be looking for a home in the future due to divorce. I asked the manager if there was a penalty for breaking the lease when I am ready to purchase a home. The manager informed me that there is no penalty but I would be required to provide a 60 day notice in writing and that I am responsible for the 2 months/60 days. When requesting the required notification document to notify of 60 day notice to vacate, I was told that I would have to pay 2 months, plus $2500 and any other fees prior to vacating the property. This came as a huge surprise to me as I was clear with the manager and was reassured that there would be no penalty, but for only the 60 day notice in which I was prepared to do. I tried to explain this to the current staff and they said that they would speak to someone on my behalf. Today, I received a notification that I have to pay $ *******- lease buyout fee, $1355 for october rent ( this has already been paid), $1355 for november rent and $632.38 for 14 days of december total= $5842.38 (-$1355/oct) $4487.38 due by October 29, 2024. This came from ***** ******* from the ************************* Not only is this unfair ethically, but a contradiction of the agreement clearly stated by management. If this was included in my lease, I would not have chose to rent at the *****************. Since I signed my original lease, there have been 5 different managers. This is not my fault and I dont think it fair to require me to pay anything more than November $1355 and December (14 days) $632.38. I have never paid my rent late, caused any damages or disturbances.
