I moved out of a rental back in February of this year. I
still owed my last months rent ($350) so Coldwell Banker
said they would send me a bill along with my deposit. I
received a bill for $2000 and no deposit money back on
July 7th. They charged me for March, April, May, and June.
They also charged me for damages to the house. Now, three
people lived there for five years before I moved in. All
but one moved out when I moved in. The place had serious
problems but was cheap. They never cleaned or fixed
anything prior to my moving in. I filled out a damages
sheet and turned it in when I received my key to move in.
I lived there for six months and moved out in February.
The last guy was still living there for a few more months
after I left. He has yet to receive any bill for the
damages. Coldwell says they can't find the sheet I turned
in with all of the damages and I did not make a copy. The
Coldwell people told me to try to contact the other people
who moved out and collect money from them. Why? Why would
I be the one responsible for these damages? What recourse
can I take against Coldwell Banker? Can someone please
help me out? I know very little about these matters.
Thanks,
Dave
