What can be done when apartment management has been misleading about the property/amenities?

Question

The apt. that I just moved into said that the apt. would be on the third floor but has a car garage next to it so that moving in would be easy since the car can pull up to the apt. On the day of moving in, I found out that the car garage was attached to a seperate building an I had to move my things up to the third floor. They also told me that they provided trash pick up on monday wednesday and friday, but I have had to call them more than 5 times to get the trash taken out after it has been sitting out for 2 weeks. Dealing with the management has been absolutly horrible and I was wondering about any legal action or anything else to get things done.

Answer 1

Try complaining to the better business bureau:

You can also try the American Homeowners Assoc

Answer 2

Did you not physically check the unit into which you would be moving? If you signed a lease for a property without visually checking what you were leasing, I would have to say that was not a real bright move on your part.

The remaining items should have been covered in your lease. If you did not include these conditions in your lease agreement, you have no basis for any legal action.
