Dear Sir / Madam

We (my Wife, 4 Year Son and myself) Lived in Apt#220 of (Sonterra Apartments, 17440 N Tatum Blvd, Apt#220, Phoenix , AZ, 85032) close to 4 years staring from Aug 2006. We vacated the apartments on May 30th Morning , as planned and agreed with Apartment Management

1. We went abroad and came back and currently staying with a friend, before taking new apartments

2. Sonterra Apartments Management always insisted that they would do inspection only after vacating. Since I was going abroad I couldn’t go they when they inspected after my vacating the apt.

3. I made sure I have cleanning all the apt (inspite of living there for 4 years) to my best abd handed over everything properly

4. Recently I received a checklist from them stating the results of inspection, out of which certain things are totally shocking

5. They deducted all my security deposte $500 for all miscl repair, In addition they have charged $1000 plus as loss of 1 month rent due to  Bed Bug Infestation.

6. I was very surpised as we didnot face any issues with bed bugs atleast in the last six months and even before leaving

7. I have vacated on 30th May Early Morning and They Have inspected on 3rd June 2010.

8. Now they are demanding that i should pay one month rent before july 25th, (over and above security deposite) as penalty due to delay in renting for one month due to bedbugs

9. During our stay right from 1st Month of Entering Apartments, we faced with peculiar bytes (every year in once particvular time) and we asked aprtment management to disinfect . They did on our request every year. They called it as invisible bugs (not bed bugs). Now Suddenly where did this bed bugs come out, is the Big Question

I request you to please advise me the future course of action, as I feel the Apt Management is just trying to throw bblame at me , as i have vacated and showing some discrimination. Becuase when 2 of my fiends vacated same apartments without cleaning any thing they were charged $200 as whole , by the same management.

I request you to kindly help me the next course of action. 

Thanks & Regards
