Watch out for a bill after you move

The apartments are crappy, falling apart, the office staff rude and unhelpful, and we couldn't get anything fixed. We lived there 1 year, paid $220 security deposit plus $300 pet deposit, and our first and last month's rent UP FRONT. The office staff turned over literally 4 times in that one year PLUS the maintenance people turned over about 4 times, too. No one there knew what they were doing, and we had a broken drawer and a couple of other major things that needed to be fixed that we kept asking them to fix for over 8 months and were still broken when we moved.

We moved 1 month before our lease was up because of my husband's job. We had to move over 300 miles away, which we were told was no problem because there was only 1 month on our lease, and we had paid first and last month up front. Three years later - THREE YEARS - we get a bill for $3000 saying that we owe them for a month's rent, reletting fees, cleanup charges, REPAIRS (which we tried for 8 months to get them to do), and a bunch of other BS. This is now on our credit rating, and we cannot get it off of there. We're not paying it because it's total --------. We have even contested it that it is fraudulent, which I totally believe it is.

Watch your credit closely. These people will ---- you in a heart beat.
