Ahem. So basically they keep what you've paid them already (that's the retain part) and they reserve the right to charge you for "expenses" (ie other months included in your contract) as long as it doesn't exceed 10% of your contract price.
So they're probably charging you 10% of the total price.
But if there's no 60 day notice in the contract, I'd try fighting it.
I hate chain gyms. NYSC did this to me. Grrr.
Although.....one of my co-workers had this issue with Gold's or Bally's. What she did was she got proof of address change from the month she moved, so in your case July (like if you have the lease that you signed for the new place, dated July that has your NEW address) - and she fought and fought and fought with them, and essentially got them to recognize retrospectively the change of address.
To make that simpler - she signed a lease in July. She had proof that she signed a lease in July. She got them to do the 60 days notice thing as far back as July (b/c she tried telling them and they said but we need proof) so she only had to pay for July and August.
Does that make sense?
If you fight with them, you can win.
