Have you had issues with the apartment team after you given up your apartment try to rip you off?

I am a first time home owner I purchased my first home. The closing everything went great no issue I got approved.

Now the only issue I have is with the apartment Imperials staff they're douched and money hungry teams. If I knew better I would do the walk threw along with manager Olivia it's her name.

I give up the apartment downstairs to the staff and team told them thank you called it a day moving on.

Now Olivia give me a call that the carpets are damaged and I need to pay for shit I didn't damaged and claim. my dog damage the cabinet corner when it was like that when I first moving during Covid when they were huge about distance. I live in Imperial apartments for five years and this the crap they come up with. I called corporate to address the issue.

Do all apartment staff play this crap try to rip people off?

Damn, that's messed up that the apartment staff is trying to pull a fast one on you and charge you for damages you didn't cause. Sounds like they're just trying to nickel and dime you on your way out the door.

I've definitely heard of shady apartment managers trying to scam people like that before. They know a lot of people won't put up a fight, so they try to take advantage whenever they can. It's a real crappy way to do business.

The good news is you're not alone in dealing with this kind of BS. A lot of folks have issues with apartment staff trying to rip them off on the way out. The key is to not let them get away with it and to push back hard.

I'm glad to hear you're taking it up with the corporate office. That's definitely the right move. Make sure you document everything and don't let them bully you into paying for stuff you didn't do. Stand your ground and don't back down.

Hopefully the corporate team will shut that down and you won't have to deal with any more nonsense from Olivia and her money-hungry crew. But unfortunately, yeah, a lot of apartment staff seem to pull that kind of shady crap. Just gotta be ready to fight back.

Good luck, man. Don't let them walk all over you. You got this. Stick it to 'em and don't let them take advantage. Wishing you the best with getting that sorted out.

When renting an apartment, it's important to take pictures... before you move in and after you move out. Did you do that? It avoids issues with management claiming damages. If things were damaged by you, management is titled to charge you for its repair and cleaning.

I'm sorry you are now having issues. Congrats on the new home.

Thanks men.

Keeping your security deposit is part of their business model. File a lawsuit in small claims court, they don't want to deal with those and they'll pay you your money right away. Make sure they also pay you the $100 or whatever it was to file the lawsuit, though even if you can't get that at least you've gotten your $4,000 back or whatever it was.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. While not all apartment staffs are like this, disputes can happen. Document everything, including photos from when you moved in and out, to help your case. You've done well by contacting corporate; follow up to ensure they are addressing your concerns. Consider consulting a tenant's rights organization or legal advisor for further assistance. Transparency and communication are key in resolving such matters.
