Q: Severance package rent reimbursement requires removing belongings from leased apartment. Why?
My severance package includes reimbursement for two months' rent, but the company requires me to remove my personal belongings from the apartment by March 31st for the payment to be processed. My name remains on the lease, and I have access to the apartment. I am confused as to why my belongings need to be removed in order for them to pay me when it's under my lease. How should I address this requirement with my company?
A:
I want to know if you work for the lease company.
The removal of your things should have something to do with the landlord giving back the security deposit.
I need more information to give you a better answer.
I hope this helps.
