UNETHICAL MANAGEMENT

Where to begin.... My first impression of River Park was that it was a safe, clean place to live. The apartments seemed good for the price and there are security cameras (supposedly) throughout the property. Plus, the amenities and the location right next to Blanchard park make it seem like an attractive place to live. It isn't safe, crimes occur all the time here. A friend of mine's car was stolen and their security cameras didn't pick up on it. But other than living in fear you also have the maintenance staff: Our A/C was leaking pretty badly and when I called them to have them come fix it they told me to put a bucket under it until they could come out. Well I can't be home all day to constantly empty the bucket plus the leak became worse and worse. I came home one afternoon to find that the dinning room carpet was completely soaked. This inevitably damaged the carpet (turned it brownish red) and I was told I would have to pay to repair it. To clean up the flood mess the maintenance guy left a De-humidifier running in my apartment for a week straight. Whats really bad is that I'm at the end of my lease and all of a sudden they're telling me that since I didn't give them written notice that I would have to pay an additional month's rent. Yes, i looked over the lease and it is in there (briefly and somewhat hidden), but I still find this unethical. Not only are they charging me an extra month's rent but they're hiking up the price. I'm not the least bit amused. I can't wait to see how much money they take out of my safety deposit. If my lease is up at the end of January why would it be assumed that I'm switching to "month to month" leasing? Just a legal loop hole for them to rip people off. My friend in law school looked into it for me and apparently FL statute protects these crooks. Apparently the law is that if 30 days notice isn't given the landlord holds the right to charge me an extra month. Awesome, way to be a government for the people.
