My husband and I moved into an apartment and we lived there for 18 months. Our first lease, my mother in law had to co-sign. That lease expired after 6 months and we signed another lease for a year by ourselves. About 3 months after that, another leasing company bought the apartment complex. After we moved out, we received a letter from the new lease company demanding $2400 in damages to the apartment. The damages included new carpet, paint, new locks, and cleaning. The carpet was worn and statined when we moved in. We did nothing to the walls that would require repainting. We didn't even hang photos on the wall. I have disputed this on my credit report. There is no way for them to prove that me and my husband did any damage because they did not see the state of the apartment when we moved in. On the same token, we cannot prove that we did not. They have also place this on my mother in laws credit report. She was not on the lease when we moved out. Any hope in resolving this? Thanks
