I've been here all of 2 wks & have NO idea WTH's the problem. Paid $1660 & moved into an apt on 9/7 (rent is $600/mth so paid $600 sec dep, $460 prorated Sept rent, $600 last mth rent) A wk after I moved in, I rec'd a mailed copy of my lease, looked ev'thing over, appeared OK. On 9/15, I rec'd a statement from Property Mgmt saying that I need to pay the $600 for Oct rent to avoid more late fees & possible legal action. Yesterday, in the sliding door, I found a 3-day notice (left 9/21) to leave premises, in essence saying that I am to leave on/before 9/25 for non-payment of rent for Oct. 1. So of course, I pull out the lease again to see if there's ANYTHING on it stating that I still owed $600 for rent for next month. THAT's when I noticed they applied the $600 last mth's rent to AUG (as in..LAST MTH, but that's not right, is it?? ) I didn't even sign the lease til 8/25, so why charge me full PREV month. Also, the statement has my apt # as 80B, but it's 78. Do I need an attorney?
