What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
I moved out of my apartment on May 28, 2009. It has been nearly 3 months and I did not receive a bill for damages until today. A friend who lived in the complex told me that she was billed $700--She said she was going to dispute it. I think my "friend" mentioned to the complex that I was not billed for cleaning and painting like she was... so here I am today, with a very similar bill to the one she received. As far as I know, they have a specific amount of days to notify me of charges... I read the lease up and down about 6 times to see if it mentioned in there a time frame, couldn't find a single thing. My "friend" received hers within 2 weeks of moving out... Somebody moved into my apartment within weeks of me moving out. I don't really find myself liable for these charges, it's almost 3 months to the date of when I moved out.. I had been told in the past that they had 30 days to notify me... In fact, I did receive a bill from them for $18 about 3 weeks after I moved out--which I paid. I tried calling the complex today but they weren't in... I will try again tomorrow. The letter states I'll be sent to a collection agency if I don't pay within 30 days.
Any help appreciated!
