In Feb. my husband and I signed a contract with Advantage homes in Kansas City to put our home up for rent for $1495 per month - no pets allowed. A man went to look at our home and said that everything looked good. I told him that the minor repairs needed in the house would not be done because the rental price was still less than the monthly mortgage. He said that would be no problem. Since signing the lease, the couple who run the company have been very rude to us and to our realtor. They told me that extensive work would need to be done to the house if we ever wanted to rent it. Then they told me that we should lower the price. We agreed. Now they are showing the house and taking lease applications from people with pets - which we said no to in the first place. We might be moving back into the home within the next couple of months and asked about terminating the lease agreement. They were VERY rude to me and said that it would be $299 to cancel the contract. I got upset by this and when I called her about it the next day, she said that the fee was $399! They have changed their mind about the condition of the home, the price that it could rent for, and now the fee to cancel. The small print of the contract also says that they can rent the house out "on our behalf" if we cannot be reached. We are afraid that if we keep the lease active they will rent the house out without our permission. The contract is apparently good until Feb. of 2011, depsite my realtor never having heard of a reputable company signing for more than a few months. They have also continued to show the home, despite my phone call stating that we wish to discontinue showings
