The mega-REITS who bought all the affordable apartments in the bay area deserve what is coming to them. I rented a slummy 500 sq ft apartment (literal roaches in the kitchen) in Mountain View for $2000/month back in 2015 and just last fall, fully 3 years after moving out, I got a shakedown letter from them demanding I pay up some $300 "overdue balance" or else they fuck up my credit score. This is the first I ever heard of it. Of course I paid because my credit is worth a lot more to me than $300, but I was just thinking about how somebody in a less privileged position would feel getting a notice like that.
- jedberg 6y agoIf you've got the time you should file a small claims against them for the $300. They'll most likely cave and just give you the $300 back (minus the court costs of $30).
