Deb's about to kick some apartment manager butt!

Get this- I went yesterday to tell my stupid, jerk apartment manager that we were moving out at the end of the month. First of all, this idiot was standing outside while there was a worker using some kind of sander that sounded like a lawnmower when I walked up to him. I had to yell to be heard over the thing and when I told him I needed to talk to him, the idiot ROLLED HIS EYES! If you are a teacher (or the parent of a teenager), you know this is the one thing that makes most of us crazy. He then very rudely said, "What?" I had to yell again that perhaps we should go inside the office so I wouldn't have to yell at him. I went in and told him, "We've bought a house, so we'll be moving out at the end of this month." He looked me straight in the face with a little smirk and said, "Well, you can't." Wrong thing to say to someone whose last name is German. Now, I'm generally a calm person when dealing with idiots (after all, I teach school and a class where people regularly poop their pants), but this guy has ticked me off one too many times with his condescending attitude (translation, I usually have doormat written on my forehead). For some reason, I saw red and wasn't able to censor what came out of my mouth. My first thought was, "Oh hell no, you did not just say that to me." I managed to not say that, but I put my hands on my hips, did that head roll thing that all of the African American girls I went to high school had down to a tee, and said, "Watch me." His response was, "Well, you can move out, but you're going to have to pay the rent for the entire month of April." I'm sorry, when I signed my original lease, I had to sign for the entire first year. After that, rent was on a month to month basis. It said that they liked a 30 day written notice of moving out, but that rent would be prorated if it was under half of the amount of the month left. He says the company doesn't do that now, and I'll have to pay for the whole month. I wanted to tell him that I should only have to pay for the first week since I went for three and a half weeks without hot water at the end of November and into the coldest part of December. I guess they don't think it's necessary to "prorate" hot water. I will be so glad to out of this place and never have to deal with this complete a**hole again. I'm seriously considering contacting the main office and telling them I'll pay them for the first couple of days, but no more since I went without a hot water heater and because I'm sick and tired of dealing with this jerk who does nothing to benefit the residents who aren't his "party buddies" and who never cause him problems. The only thing that I've ever had a problem with was the hot water heater. I am always early on my rent, usually to the tune of about two weeks. Right now, I'd like to take my rent check and shove it where the sun doesn't shine on this guy. So, if I get put in jail for going postal on this guy, it may be a while before you all hear from me. I have a feeling that I'm going to still have to end up paying for the whole month since it's corporate America, and believe me, customer service has went down the drain with Trident Corporation, but still, I'd like to kick this idiot's butt. At least it would make me feel better.
