Bad experience

At first I enjoyed living here. The layout of the apartment was nice and the people seemed nice. It didn't take long for me to realize that moving in was a mistake. The parking spot assigned to me was extremely far from my actual building. Garbage dumpsters and laundry facilities were also very much out of the way. Traffic in this area is awful. Rats came in through a hole in the wall under my kitchen sink. The management wouldn't control the noise after they let some college freshmen move in next door to me and they were constantly playing music loud inside while hanging around outside being drunk and noisy on our shared balcony right after I had a new baby. Toward the end of our lease we were one day late on our rent payment and before we could bring them the check they had posted a notice that said we had 5 days to vacate. Upon receiving this notice we were a bit shocked since our money wasn't even 8 hours past due and we were more than fine with paying any late fees and had never before been late with rent, but since we received notice we found a new place to live. When I let the management know that we would be out in the time requested, she informed me that I was not allowed to leave and threatened that she would do what she could to make sure that I was unable to find a new place of residence and then even threatened to call the police on me!! For what, I have no idea. After we moved out they summoned me to court. I showed the judge her 5 days to vacate notice and she tried to explain that it meant I had to pay late fees and not that I had to vacate. The judge basically told her she was a moron but ordered me to pay court costs of $80 anyway. Now they are harassing me by phone and mail claiming that I owe them $2600.00 in unpaid rent even though I only had 1 month left on the lease; this amount is over 4x my rent at the time, not to mention they kept my deposit which was fine as it would have covered the few days that I actually did live there and whatever eviction fee there was at the time, except that they did not apply it to this "balance owed" even though the apartment was in good condition and nothing was broken; we had even just had the carpet cleaned. The have since reported this "debt" to the credit bureaus so now I must go through the process of having it investigated and removed as it was deemed in court that I do not owe them any money. These people made a mistake with which form they stuck to my door, and then rather than admitting their idiotic error they have gone out of their way to punish me for it. I would never advise anyone to live here as the management is not only incompetent, but also deceitful and vindictive, going out of their way to give me difficulties by reporting false debts to credit bureaus knowing that I have to go through all kinds of nonsense to have it removed or else be rejected for home loans, etc.
