We had filed a 30-day notice for an intent to vacate a premise, with an agreement on the remainder of the rent. some 5 days before the notice date we get a phone call from them saying "The waters been turned off, you have to turn your keys in now. you've been evicted from the premises." we went over to the premises to see if there was a notice or anything. Nothing. Turns out they were going in and out of our apartment in between our moving trips, and when they realized we'd transferred our service (which requires the water to be disconnected), decided that was enough to warrant evicting us. Now they're charging us over $800 (above and beyond the $350 deposit) for "Paint, cleaning floor tiles, a new toilet (that was reported broken to them months before, the reason we decided to vacate was because they weren't fixing anything.) .. In addition to, they've also added extra charges for "utilities" they needed to clean the aparatment. Is this legal to do?
