Un-Frikin'-Believable...

So I get home from work, check the mail and find a letter from the management company of my apartment complex.

"Sorry to hear of the recent events..." or "Regarding your recent request for installing bars on the window..." were possible topics I thought I'd find inside.


nope.


not even close.


instead it read...

Dear Brian,

Enclosed you will find a copy a bill in the amount of $112.63 for the replacement of the broken window in your apartment. Please remit $112.63 to clear up your account.

Please remit payment to: Blah Blah Blah (address of the a$$')

Sincerely,

(the a$$')

What a frigin' joke. First off, nice proof reading. Secondly, if I pay a dime for that window, it goes with me when I move out. We'll see how they like that one.

Pretty sad dude. Adding insult to injury.

Not normally a person to suggest suing for Tenants Rights

Landlord liability for crimes commited against tenants
Tenant's Rights Clinic
California Dept of Consumer Affairs recommendations on resolving landlord/tenant disputes

Don't send any money at all or any letter acknowledging responsibility. If you pay for the window, you won't be getting your money or the window back.

That's a good point. I also know a lawyer who deals in this subject.

Thanks sarah. I'll have a talk with the manager and see what happens. If things are looking grim I'll get the number of that lawyer from you.

F*&^ the man! Stick it to 'em!

One question, do you have renters insurance? It would probably cover that IF you are forced to pay that.
