We lived in an apartment for 8 years and turned in our keys on Monday. I found out from neighbors that our entire apartment was gutted (flooring, cabinets, bathroom fixtures, you name it and it was removed). All that is left is an empty canvas.
Today I received a letter from the management company stating we damaged the kitchen cabinets under the sink which was caused by a disposal leak that took them almost a month to come an fix.
Why are they charging us for something they tore out knowing they are renovating the entire unit as they have just about more than half of the community in the past year.
What are our options to fight it? I took over 150 pictures of the place right before I turned in the keys to document every nook and cranny of that apartment and there was no major damage other than your typical wear and tear from living in a 20+ year old apartment.
