Shady Dealings

There are worse places to live but this one is on the lower end of the spectrum. Not a very good neighborhood. There's a dent in my BMW from what looks like someone punching my car...or maybe just a cardoor that happened to somehow not scratch the paint? I dunno, but my neighbors were all shady, asking to borrow money all the time. The pool is cute. A 16-yr-old boy runs the sign-in clipboard and pretends to do work. Is that where a portion of my rent is going? Anyway, I had a 2-bedroom sublevel and it was decently sized with minimal noise(not counting the loud subwoofers coming from passing cars). Mostly uneventful except that my roommate said someone offered to sell him cocaine right on our front stoop. But what do you expect? This is Decatur, IL. My gripe is with management charging me an extra month's rent. During my last month of living there, they sent me a notice that stated I had to renew my lease or they would assume I was just going to move out. I was just going to move out so I contacted them a week prior to my moving out to let them know it was ready for a final walkthrough. They said it would be ok for me to just leave my keys with them and not walk through. This was fine by me. My cat had ruined the blinds and I cleaned fairly well so I figured I'd get a little bit back on the deposit and call it a done deal. Turns out I didn't get anything back on the deposit. That's fine. It was only a couple hundred bucks if I remember correctly and I know they steam clean the carpets anyway. I got a letter a month later stating I owed them another month's rent "because I didn't let them know within a month of my lease ending that I was moving." When I told them that their previous letter says they'll assume I'm moving, they said they'd get back to me. When they called back later, they stated I didn't pay for my final month on the lease(which was BS) so I told them to get me proof(I had thrown away my lease and the letter they had sent me so I had nothing). Instead of getting me proof, I got a collections letter and my awesome credit score is now reduced. I refuse to pay this bill and $540 isn't worth calling a lawyer over so I'm stuck with damaged credit because the management decided to pull a fast one on me. The end.
