Hi everyone. I'm writing because I am completely at a loss for what to do. Today I received a letter from my landlord stating that I left 13 bags of trash, a box and a fan in front of our building, and they are charging me $375 as a trash removal fee. They said that they found trash with my address on it in the bags. Our building has a "trash room" in the basement, so trash from the 20+ apartments in my building ends up there, and I have never left my trash anywhere else. I am also one person living in a tiny studio apartment, and have never in my life amassed 13 bags of trash to be thrown out at one time, nor have I owned a fan while living in this building. I have absolutely no idea what to do. $375 is an incredible amount of money to me, and I find it highly suspect that I am receiving this charge with exactly one month to go before I have to move out of the apartment. My panicked mind wanders to the possibility of their withholding my security deposit if I refuse to pay this trash removal fee, and the possibility of their ruining my credit rating if they report me to a credit bureau. Could somebody please point me in the right direction? I am so scared that they are going to cause serious problems. Thank you.What is the name of your state?
