<prompt> Human: So i got a call yesterday from a collection agency telling me i owed 800 for my last rental property manager. I was mad and confused, cause i had payed everything the day i moved out, and received no further notices from them. Called them up and, apparently, after taking all of my deposit 1100, they claimed i still owed 800 for cleanings and what not on the house and various other things. I asked why the hell i never received a notice of this, and they claimed it was mailed out. Turns out they had the wrong apt number. So what to do? I could pay it on a credit card, though i dont really want to, and dont have the cash to take care of it. Seeing as its already dropped my credit score 100pts to a 538, i see no real benefit to paying it off. What do you guys think?  <response>: First, demand an itemized list of why they think you owe and for what. Compare that to the pictures you took when you moved out. You took pictures right?Second, look up your state tenant-landlord laws. In some states, landlords are required to give you an itemized list of security deposit deductions within a certain timeframe 30 days is common and if they do not, they have to give you the entire security deposit back in a few states they owe you triple the security deposit!. If they had the wrong forwarding address because you gave them the wrong address, you may be out of luck on this point. But if you have evidence you gave them the correct address and they screwed it up, you might want to talk to a lawyer most lawyers will give you a free consultation to see if you have a case.
