I moved out of my apartment in good standing when my lease was up. About a week after moving, I received a letter from the apartment complex saying that I owed for cleaning and minor repairs to my apartment. There was an invoice(see attached) for these charges included in the letter.
While I did dispute some of the items listed, I decided to let them keep my $300 deposit to apply to the $264 charges. I replied to their letter stating this decision.
In their reply, they said the $300 had already been applied, although there was no mention of that on the original invoice they sent me and they didn't send me a record of any charges they had before the $300 was applied, only after.
They said I have 10 days to pay the balance or they will turn it in to a collection agency. What should I do?
