My husband and I recently moved into a condo. We moved in on July 11th 2008 and we got a refrigerator that worked on August 8, 2008. We came to an agreement with the landlord/prop management on compensation to us for the inconvience. We could of asked for more but we were trying to be good & understanding tenants. We sent in our rent check and found out that my husbands bank account had fraudulant activity (someone took everything we had). We thought that the bank had paid the check and charged us a fee but we got a call on the 10th saying that the check came back as NSF. We told them the story and they said to send the amount back w/ a NSF charge. We were ok with that. But then we get a letter on Aug 21 with both checks in it saying that we had to send in a money order. ALso enclosed was a seperate letter claiming that we owe more that what the first letter (enclosed in the same envelope) stated. As to make it even worse, we recieved at letter today (Aug 23) saying that now we owe even more money & if we don’t within three days they will take possession of the premises. FIrst, none of these letters were sent certified mail or were they summons. Second, they have failed to repair a crack in my front window (which was agreed upon when we moved in for them to repair). Thirdly, I have had a clogged kitchen sink since around the 10th of this month. They have yet to send someone out to fix it. Can they evict us in three days? What can we do??
