If you all read my prior report regarding illegal activities and tenant harassment, now read the rest of the story.
After I decided I had enough, I just left, no notice. I broke my lease, understanding that I would forfeit my deposits which would more than cover any losses to the complex. No problem.
Keep in mind that NV says that even if you break your lease, charges must be prorated for actual days lost on the lease until unit is re-rented, as they prorate the first month for the new tenant. Bottom line is that it is ILLEGAL in NV to double dip.
This complex had a very long waiting list and I left my apt in move in ready condition. Therefore, it was surely re - rented in less than 1 week.
I had a $350 security deposit, and a non-refundable cleaning deposit of $250, but I even cleaned the carpets anyway! My monthly rent was $695.
OK... Lets give them the benefit of the doubt and DOUBLE the # of days it took them to re-rent the apt to 15 days unrented.
For accounting purposes of rental proration the standard used in NV is 30.5 days in a month. That is $22.79 per day after rounding UP. $22.79 x 15 = $341.85. Now take the $350 security deposit less the $341.85 in lost rent. They still owe me $8.15!
They have me in collections for $459.00 [$340.00 $119.00 collection fees].
Keep in mind they also got to keep a $40 key deposit for 2 generic keys they cut themselves, and have copies of, and a $30 gatecard deposit for 1 plastic card with a magnetic strip that costs about $1, and they are charging me $25 for stove rings and pans, which were there when I left! And $25 in legal fees! What lawyer do you know of that works for $25! I want to meet this one!
These people are the scum of the earth, and should be avoided at all cost!
I'll be putting them in collections for the $8.15 they owe me, and will be filing a lien on the property, which is done in NV without any justification at all, legally.
