My jurisdiction is: CALIFORNIA
I Lived In My Apt For 31 Months .. Just Under 3 Years. When I Signed The Lease They Took $300 For The Security Deposit. When I Left They Sent Me A Bill For $551 After The $300 Ran Out. They Said It Was For Replacing The Carpet, Painting The Walls, The Shower Rod(which Was Working When I Left), Cleaning Charges Etc. I Attempted To Call Them, But Got No Where. They Have This System That They Give You An Allowance For The Months That You Have Lived There To Cover The Normal Wear And Tear. They Gave Me 10.42 A Month For The Painting And 15.95 A Month For The Carpet, And Im Supposed To Pay The Difference Out Of Pocket. Can They Do This?? I Dont Feel That I Created $800 Worth In Damages? Please Help Me .. I Dont Know What To Do From Here .. Other Than Pay And I Really Cant Afford It.
