need some advice as to what to do...
Last month, my girlfriend moved out. This wasnt such a big deal (i saw it coming) except for the fact we still are under a lease until february 15th or something. Well so last months rent bill rolled around on the 5th...this is funny because i didnt receive it in the mail in my mailbox and called to request it and on the 5th, i get a late notice on my door saying i owe instead of my normal 620-630, i now owe almost $900 because my fucking water bill is $87.....for a one bedroom apartment. Anyway, long story short, i tried to explain the situation to my complex manager and she said they are filing reposessory fees for $250 two days ago. so now i owe $1200 according to them to keep the apartment then get called today saying they need keys by noon. So my rent is officially 10 days late and im already getting evicted so when i get off, im going to get all of my things.
The only part of the situation i am concerned with, is the fact that i do not want it to affect my credit cause when i was 18, i fucked up my credit by maxing out my limits but have owrked hard to get my credit decent again. My sister went up to our complex the other day as she lives there too and tried to pay the rent but they said that she couldnt do it on her credit card. While she was up there, they actually gave her personal information about the account and one agent told her i was an occuant and not a leasee and when i called, they said it would hit my credit
anyway, i called up there today to get a copy of my lease to read thoroughly through it and still havent had it faxed (since 11am) but was told by management that i would have to pay $3600 to keep it off my credit...this seems rediculous since i have a month and a half left on my lease and my rent is $595 a month. im ok paying $595 for next month and the $1k or whatever they are charging me now but i am not ok with paying the equivalent to 6 months in rent for a month and a half remaining on my lease
so clifs..
roommate moved out
stuck me with lease
rent is 10 days late and getting eviction notices
to keep off MY credit they want me to pay almost $3600 ($598 over 6 months) which is actually more than my rent for 6 months while i have 2 months remaining on my lease
is there any way i can fight this since my roommate left breaking her part of the lease? my other major thing is if i pay half of the $3600, will she have to pay the other? im not willing to pay $3600 because she dipped out on her end of the lease.
Thanks for any advice
