MY STORY IS THIS I MOVED INTO THE APARTMENT IN MARCH OF 2005 THE APARTMENT HAD BEEN FIXED UP WITH NEW PAINT, CARPET, ETC. BEFORE I RENTED THAT APARTMENT I DOUBLE CHECKED IF THEY ALLOWED ME TO HAVE A PET AND IF THEY DIDN'T THAN OBVIOUSLY I WASN'T GOING TO TAKE THE APARMENT. THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T CARE AT ALL SINCE THE OTHER TENANTS DIDN'T HAVE ANY PETS. I ALSO ASKED HER IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I CAN SIGN AND SHE SAID NO BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING WRITTEN. SO I STILL TOOK THE APARTMENT. I PAID HER EVERYMONTH ON TIME AND NEVER GAVE HER ANY TROUBLE. i ONLY COMPLAINED ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS LIKE THE HEAT AND A FUNGUS PROBLEM IN THE BATHROOM (WHICH THEY NEVER TOOK CARE OF). A YEAR AFTER MOVING IN A NOTICED THE CARPETS GETTING A LITTLE DIRTY SO I HAD THE CARPETS CLEANED AND CLEANED THEM MY SELF REGULARLY. IN OCTOBER OF 2006 MY BOYFRIEND AND I FOUND A HOUSE TO BUY AND WE INFORMED OUR LANDLORD ON 10/26 THAT WE WILL BE MOVING OUT IN OCTOBER THEY WERE FINE UNTIL I NOTICED THAT SHE REPAINTED THE HALLWAY OUTSIDE OF MY DOOR AND I TOLD HER AGAIN IN NOVER THAT I WAS MOVING OUT SHE ACTED LIKE I NEVER TOLD HER. I WANT TO GIVER WRITTEN NOTICED BUT SHE REFUSED TO GIVE ME ADDRESS OR TAKE THE LETTER. SHE THEN STARTED TO MAKE MY LIFE LIVING HELL. I TOLD HER I WILL GET THE CARPETS CLEANED AGAIN BEFORE I LEFT AND SHE COMPLETELY FLIPPED OUT AND SHE THREATED TO TEAR UP THE CARPETS AND BILL ME FOR THE NEW CARPET. I TOOK PICTURES AND TAPED THE WALK THROUGH (IN THE TAPE YOU HERE THEM SAY THEY ARE JUST GOING TO TEAR UP THE CARPETS) TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THAT I WILL NOT GET MY SECURITY BACK DUE TO A PET URINE AND AN INVOICE FOR 1800.00 TO REPLACE THE CARPETS. IS THIS RIGHT??? I TOOK CARE OF THE CARPETS AND EVEN HAD A PROFESSIONAL COME AND LOOK AT THE CARPETS AND THEY STATED THAT THE CARPETS JUST HAVE WEAR. AND JUST NEED TO GET CLEANED. (WHICH I OFFERED) WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY FULL SECURITY BACK/
