GODDAMN IT APARTMENT MANAGER! PISS OFF!

[micaturtle]

Okay, it's official. The management at Jenn & my apartment building are fuckwads. I called them today and they told me that they had to replace the carpet, so we are only getting like $20 back of our security deposit (out of a $700 Security Deposit!)

They are so full of shit! I'm going over to the apartment today to knock on the door of the apartment and ask if I can enter and check if they DID replace the carpet (which I *HIGHLY* doubt they did, since we moved out on Saturday July 31st, and they said the new tenants wanted to move in on Sunday, August 1st)

I am SO beyond pissed. Even if they somehow DID replace the carpet, it was only about a 700 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment, so it would cost about $800-$1000 to re-carpet it. This cost should NOT be ours to take on, as there were at least THREE large yellow spots on the carpet when we moved in (ALL of which the lady doing the walkthough with us ASSURED us that we wouldn't need to worry about)

They can piss off. I told them I wanted the itemized explanation of why they kept the moneys from the security deposit ASAP. They told me they would call me back. As soon as I get it, I'm going down to the courthouse to file suit.

ARGH. I am pissed. I kill them. I kill them until they are dead.

EDIT: Okay, I am waiting until tomorrow noon for them to call me back, and if they don't I'm calling and raising holy hell! Grrrr!

Wow, what a load of shit! I don't blame you for being so pissed off!

I this gets resolved without having to involve the courts...

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

Most landlords suck. Good luck getting your money back. I hope you do and if you have to sue, I hope you kick the shit outta them.

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

That sucks that they're trying to squeeze as much money out of you and Jenn while they still can. Put up a good fight and I hope things go your way but don't waste too much time on them; they aren't worth it.

To me, it *IS* worth it. It's a principal of the thing! If they had been NICER to us when we lived there, then I'd be willing to let it go. But no, they've been nothing but dicks to us since the day we signed the lease. :p

The bastards! D:< I would so pursue legal action; that's utter bullshit.

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

Hellz yeah. Thanks for the support! ;)

Oh, that blows. I'm sorry. :(

Didja get something in writing about the pre-existing carpet stains? Might be helpful if you do. I try to get everything in writing now, since I've had a few landlords go back on verbal agreements. It sux.

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

It does blow :[

Sadly, even tho we got something in writing about the pre-existing stain when we moved in, they kept the copy of it, and I never noticed that we never got a copy of it *pout*

Dumb landlordz. I beatz them.

I remember in my old apartment complex, they gave us all a notice that if the carpets had to be replaced upon the ending of a lease then the previous residents would be charged the cost. We had to break the lease early due to noisy neighbors they never fully took care of, and when they brought up the carpet we were all glares and they were like "nevermind."

Good luck! Those Mark Twain complexes have an easier time screwing over the average tenant. I would highly recommend sticking to smaller complexes/duplexes for future renting, as you have a better one-on-one relationship with your landlord (who has less tenants to worry about pleasing). Mark Twain complexes tend to have better functioning things (i.e. appliances and the like), but stuff like this ^ happens a lot, lol. Again, good luck to you guys!

damn, I *TRIED* the glares, but got nothing but a bitch!vibe from the lady doing the thing. *grumbles*

"Mark Twain complexes" ? I assume you mean apt complexes run by property management places, right?

As for FUTURE renting. I'm just NOT going to. It's going to be buying from now on for me. I *HATE* renting. It sucks.

[livefree-13.livejournal.com]

*eons later* Sorry!

Yes, I meant the property management-run complexes. ^_^

Buying is SO not a bad idea. Especially since there are a lot of houses on the market right now that are cheap due to repossession and stuff. And renting DOES suck!

Did you kill them yet? Or did things work out?

[micaturtle.livejournal.com]

Noes. I WANTS to keel them. I shall post moar about what happened today sometime on dis LJ :p *grumbles*

Oh that's utter BS! I'd take their asses to court! That's not right.
