I received a letter today from apartment complex manager stating I have a outstanding balance. When I called the office they told me that a balance is due from January's rent it is now April. I receive housing assistance so they pay a portion and I pay a portion. Before I sign my lease I had to pay a $500 deposit to secure my apartment. Once my apartment was ready I paid a month and a half security. I moved in the middle of December. January 1 that's when the housing assistance kick in. I was told that my $500 deposit will be forwarded to my first months rent. I never got any notice about the December rent or how much it was for that was never disclosed to me. They also credit me a extra $40 to my deposit which I don't know why they did that. So $540 deposit went to two weeks in December and some of January rent. My outstanding balance for January rent. My question is what to do if there was no communication or notice from manager about this? Manager won't be in until Friday which by then they sent my account to attorney.
