Silver Spring Luxury Apartment Homes    |    Paul Levere    |    Baltimore    ,    Maryland 21236    Landlord Complaint 23-0000

On the morning of 07-26-12, I arrived home at 0530 to find a letter posted to my door casting an accusation that: 'We have been informed that you have an unauthorized pet (cat) in your home. Please be advised that you are in direct violation of your lease agreement. Pets are only allowed with prior written consent from management.' The letter then goes on to explain adjustments to monthly rent and a supposed refundable and nonrefundable pet deposit which is now due on my account. There is a second page listing the Baltimore County Code Title 6 rules and regulations, as well as an addendum for which I am to fill out and sign documenting that the supposed pet exists and necessary adjustments be made to the monthly rent that is due. I do not own a pet. I work three different jobs. One of my jobs as a resident physician requires that I am on overnight call for 6 continous nights about once a week every 6-8 calendar weeks. Therefore, I own no pets because I would not be home enought to take care of them. The accusation is false and egregious. The way the accusation was handled amounts to no more than an attempt by management to browbeat me into admitting something that does not exist. This is not professional behavior. This is not the first time I have had to deal with Tristar Management making errors in their business practices. I would like this reported and available for review to future tenants that are considering dealing with this company.
