hello,
I have a unique situation.
I moved out of my apartment in February and was told that I would get my deposit money back within 30 days. The deposit money was $250 minus the carpet cleaning $73 as agreed. However, today I got a letter from the property management company saying that I owe them $223.70 for stuff like full paint and what not.
Although I received the letter today, it is dated as 31-Mar-08 ( but the postage was done April 30th). At the bottom it says "Please remit payment within 30 days or your account will be forwarded to a collection agency. They set this trap for me by have a month old date in the letter.
What are my options: should I pay that $223 fearing the collection charges although I know it has been unfair with me. Or should I file for a law suit? is it even worth it. At this point its more than money, its that bad feeling of being a second class citizen of this country and living with unjust. What would you suggest?
