Multiple move-in charges demand!!!
Q: We are 4 bachelors who have taken an apartment as rent in SJR Brooklyn. We paid all charges along with move-in charges. We live together as a family, we buy common groceries and share all expenses. Now one of us has to shift out and a new guy will replace him. Is this legal to ask for move-in charges again for a bachelor guy who hardly has 2 bags with him. Nothing has been changed, no furnitures, no mailboxes. Legally move in charges are taken for the services provided when a family shifts in like reconstruction of bathroom floor tiles, painting of walls, changes in mail boxes, shifting of heavy furnitures which may damage lifts. But in our case only a guy will replace another guy. So please justify the move-in charges.

Latest Answer: I completely agree with you Mr Sambaranm that a bachelor guy should not be charged move-in charges. But some apartments charge a move-in fee as a way of covering the cost of the various changes that are made between residents. You can try to talk with the landlord and negotiate.
