TEXAS
Just got our move-out bill yesterday from our last apartment and I was shocked to see over $1400 to replace the laminate plank flooring downstairs. I knew that my dog had chewed up the carpet in our bedroom, but the faux wood flooring downstairs was fine.
On top of that, I was charged for carpet for both bedrooms upstairs because "it's all one piece" even though only one room had damage by the door.
When I turned in my key, I asked the management to do a walk-through with me and they refused. That was two and a half weeks ago.
The management here has been very easy to work with in the past (we recently just moved to another one of their properties), and this is a total 180 for them. They're sticking to their 'we destroyed all of the flooring' story. I have photos, but they're claiming "pet smell," so does that really help? (Also, "pet smell" can't apply to our downstairs area as we never let our dogs down there)...
Am I stuck paying this bill?
