Milford Meadows    |    Deardorf Property Management    |    Corunna    ,    Indiana 46730    Landlord Complaint 23-0573

I received move out paperwork the end of March. Included in the paperwork was how much I was being told that I owed. It stated that owed $1460.00 for carpet and $239.00 for extermination. It also listed other items which I was responsible for and those are all correct. The day I received this paperwork, I called Deardorf Property Management and told them before I would pay $1460 for carpet, I wanted to see pictures proving that it needed replaced being as it was replaced right before we moved in. We did not smoke, had no pets, and no mold problems. We did have 3 young children so yes, the carpets did have some stains but it was nothing that would require it all to be recarpeted, specially since it said in our lease agreement that they would have it professionally cleaned. The woman said she would email me pictures. I also told her that I would not pay for the exterminations because they ordered 3 of them after I ordered the 1st one. I was also under the impression that they were in charge of payment so I was not told otherwise. I told them I would pay for the rest once they took off the sprays and sent pictures with the carpet. I never heard back. In October, I received word that this was now in collections. I called the debt collector and told him the same thing. Show me pictures and I will pay. I never received pictures. I called again in Novemeber after I checked and noticed that this was now on my credit report. This was the 1st time I was told there were actually pictures. However, they could not show them to me. I asked for these back in MARCH. That is before any of this would have been in collection and hurting my credit report and making me pay for attorney fees. Now, I am scheduled to speak with an attorney Jan 11. I was told without a supoena I am unable to even get a copy of my lease. Like I have said before, I will pay for all the fee's that I am responsible for but until I see a receipt from the professional carpet cleaner and pictures taken AFTER it was cleaned, I do not feel like I should have to pay for carpet! Also, since the apartments are combined and my apartment was not filthy, I am not sure why I should be paying for roach control, specially after speaking to maintance and him telling me that the apartment would take care of it. The landlord refused to even give me the name of the pest control place they used. I feel as though I am being taken advantage of. I do not have the money for this complain or the attorney fees.
