I arrived home on Thursday (11/1) to find two letters from my apartment complex management office in my door. Both were dated 10/31, and delivered a day late. This seems to be their habit, delivering letters 1-2 days after they are dated. It is also their habit to deliver letters after the office closes for the day so that you can't contact them right away.
The first letter was unexpected. They are hassling me about the pet deposit again. I've lived here for 7.5 years. I have a cat. I had a cat when I moved in. They never collected a pet deposit when I moved in. Several times since they they have claimed to "discover" that I own a cat, and demand that I pay a pet deposit since I didn't pay one in April 2005. I patiently, and politely, explain to them each time how they can give up on that notion as they can't decide to collect a deposit now for something that wasn't done in 2005. This time the notice states that I have 24 hours to remove my pet from the premises or be in default of my lease agreement. Oh, joy. JUST how I want to spent my Friday, dealing with the people in the office who deal with most complaints by saying "We don't make the decisions, we just work here."
The second letter was expected since it was the notice that my lease expires at the end of December. What was unexpected is that they are raising my rent by $90 each month! $90! That's just crazy. I am sorry, but this place isn't worth $1,000 a month.
I seriously need to start house-hunting. I am seriously tired of all the grief these people put me through.
I'm open to recommendations for trust-worthy, reliable, buyer's agents who can work in the Brandon, Seffner, Mango, Dover, Thonotossassa, Plant City area.
