The problem is that their timing was awful! 10 minutes isn’t a whole lot of time, but on the other hand I wouldn’t want to live in a flea infested rental unit, double YUCK! Like you said, court isn’t really an option; so I would suggest RPA Mediation. That’s how I first learned about the Rental Protection Agency, one of my own renters had filed a complaint against me for a deposit problem… The RPA Agent that contacted me was non-threatening and helped me understand the renters side, although I was in the right to charge what I did; I decided to waive a portion of the fees in order to show the tenants that I truely did care and that I wanted to be fair with them. I’m sure if you file a complaint with the RPA, you will get the best response from management, plus it protects you from future landlord retaliation. By the way, RPA Mediation only cost a flat fee of $35… I think they call it a processing fee. Hope that helps!
