I had a month to month agreement (lease) with Tony recently. Actually it was Tony's idea to offer me month to month. I always paid on time, never bothered anyone, kept an exceptionally clean apartment. My neighbors even reported that they were not even aware that the unit was rented. When I was moving out, I sent a letter to the management and told them of my plans and the date I would be leaving. It was not a full 30 days ( more like 15) since I was relocating. I opted for the "Tony inspection" on the day I moved out. He said that the rugs needed cleaning bc of some small spots (agreed), the oven (which I cleaned but never used) he was charging for a burnt on area on the bottem (which was there when I got there and I tried to remove but could not) Ok fine, and to wash the floors ( my mom cleaned those on her hands and knees and you could have eaten off them they were so clean). The total at the time of "inspection" was $125.00. He also demanded an additional month rent since I did not give the "required 30 day notice". Can you say MONTH TO MONTH. Hello, what does month to month mean ??? Apparently not the same in Tony's world as in the world at large. After the move, he made numerous harressing phone calls to myself and my parents. Refused to send us the security until he got the "rent" for the month I was not even there. I told him to use the security for the "rent" he refused. He sent me a long list of "repairs" that he had to make (all are not true and I have pictures to verify it, since I took pics of each room on move out day). Now he says that he will keep the whole security and I need to pay additional amounts for the fake "repairs". And he wants a late fee for the "rent". This guy is a real piece of work. Like a spoiled child that if he cannot have his way he changes the game to suit him and his needs.
Hope all who read this are aware and beware of his strong arm tactics.
