After fulfilling a 1 year lease with Sunshine, I went month to month for 9 months, as I was in the process of purchasing/closing on a house. I turned in my required 30 day notice to the corporate officice in May 2010, as I planned to vacate by the end of June 2010. Two months later (August 2010), I received a letter at my new home stating that I owed for July 2010 rent and a late fee due to my negligence of not turning in a notice! What!!! So, as ""stiff"" as Sunshine is about their rules, I could have gone for nearly 2 whole months without paying rent before being notified?? I seriously doubt that! Sounds to me like another money-hungry plot to make some extra cash for the company! Not to mention that a final walk-through and inspection was scheduled and conducted on the last day of June 2010. If I truly wanted to skip out on rent, why would I turn in my keys, give a forwarding address (in my notice, might I add) and schedule a final walk-through? RUN RUN AS FAST YOU CAN from this morally piss-poor company!!
