State On Campus

Dear Revdex.com,
First of all I apologize for any delay getting back to this message or to [redacted] or his guarantor. This time of the year is the busiest time of the year in this industry.
My name is [redacted] and I am the property manager of the Summit on College where [redacted]...

[redacted] resided during his 13-14 lease term.
I have reviewed his ledger today (as of 8/22/14) and he currently just owes the $20.00 for the split common area cleaning. The $4.36 gas payment was processed by us and is already taken care of. The payment was paid after the statement was given with both amounts due at that time.
  
Regarding the common area cleaning charge this was a charge of $80.00 that was split into 4 payments of $20.00 due to it was a 4 bedroom unit that had 4 residents living in it.
We walked the unit to inspect it for damages after all 4 residents moved out and their leases had expired. This occurred on August 4th 2014. [redacted]’s lease expired on August 4th 2014. This is labeled on the front page of his lease contract.  At the time of walking the unit for damages we found that the kitchen stove needed to be cleaned, as well as the floors (I have attached pictures showing this) that resulted in the $80.00 cleaning charge.
We cannot determine who made the mess that needed to be cleaned and hold that person(s) responsible for the charge considering all 4 roommates have the same access to that common room area.
At this time if [redacted] feels that his roommates made the mess and that he should not be responsible for it that is something he needs to take up with them. We cannot step in the middle of that.
Since all residents have access to the common room area then all residents are equally responsible for any damage or cleaning that is needed in the common room area.
With any lease with roommates there will be a parts where all residents are responsible for.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: i am am done with the he said she said.  All you need to do is look on this website to see the complaints regarding parking. If that's not enough, just go to web to see the various complaints from former students who have lived at the summit on college.It is my understanding that the Revdex.com is here to assist customers in getting justice. This going back-and-forth does no good. It is simply not my word against theirs there are a slew of complaints.  Once again I want my daughter released from the lease.To the Revdex.com: are you going to step in now?
Regards,
[redacted]

Dear Revdex.com and [redacted],
The last message was difficult to read due to the large amount of question marks throughout the response.
One item [redacted] pointed out was the section of the lease that they may elect to conduct a joint inspection of the apartment unit. What she failed to bring up is the few sentences before that item she pointed out that state this:
"Before surrendering possession of the Apartment Unit, Tenant must give Landlord advance written notice but such notice will not release Landlord from any liability for the full Term of this Lease and Tenant will remain liable for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease for the remainder of the Term. "
So the tenant is still respondsiable for anything that occurs for the reminder of the term even if an inspection occured.
I feel at this point we were in our legal right and we can continue to go back and forth regarding this, but at point we clearly disagree with this charge.
Thank you,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: had the final move-out inspection occurred as is stipulated in our lease, the 1) ___ and 2)____ items [I still do not know the specifics, only this "Split Common Area clean w/roommates" ]  they would have been noted by your management in writng and they would have been re-cleaned. Your management refused to conduct such an inspection. This requested walk through 
would have been signed and dated by our student at the time of his [requested and denied] walk through move out inspection.
This-your own typed words "" if an inspection occured [sic]"-is actually the complete reason you have erred in sending any cleaning charges to us.  -- > "If..." <--   ** IF  wasn't a lease option on your end. 
We were denied the opportunity to clean and then have re-inspected any area that you would list in writing that was felt to be subpar.
Your management denied us our rights in our lease. By doing so, you forfeited any right to charge anything after the fact. We have been denied the opportunity to re-clean 1) ___ and 2) ___ of which I still do not know exactly what the items are.
Regards,
[redacted]
