My fiance was on a month to month lease with Henderson Management. One weekend his electricity went out and he called the agency and the emergency number they left. He got no response and he couldn't live in an apartment without electricity. He paid his bills so there was no reason for the electric to be off. He moved out the end of that month. Henderson sold the apartment complex to Pier Properties and now Pier Properties is charging him 11,000. And for what? I don't even know. How do we go about this? Please help.
If he has received a summons and complaint ordering him to court he should consult with an attorney to properly defend against this action and potentially counterclaim the management company.
If he was on a month to month lease the most he should be liable for in rent is one month.
Good luck!
