What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
Hello,
Could you please give me advice on how to proceed with the following?
I hired movers to move me out of my apartment building. When we were leaving, the apartment complex blamed the movers for ripping the cable out of the metal automatic door outside that let the trucks enter the building. I was not present at the time they claimed this happened but the movers denied it. I was present when the maintenance guy said that the movers were operating the door when the movers were not. I signed a statement with the moving company stating that. But I did not see if the movers broke the cable before that and did not sign anything stating that I saw that.
The apartment complex took $253.74 out of my security deposit and charged me $1386.53 (which I did not pay yet). I don't know what to do. I shouldn't have to pay for the door. Either the moving company or the complex is responsible.
- I do not know if there were any witnesses that saw the movers break the door. Would there have to be witnesses in order for the movers to be liable?
- Should the apartment complex have charged me or should they have gone after the movers?
- The apt complex already took $253.74 out of my security deposit and I want that back
- Should a I pay the balance of $1396.53 for the door or refuse to pay it? If I should pay, who should I take to small claims court, the apartment complex or the movers, or should both be present?
- What should I do first? Should I contact the apartment complex or the movers? Is there any written statements that I need? What information should I collect?
Could you please help me. I don't want to do anything until I know I'm taking the correct steps. Please let me know, I greatly appreciate it.
