Complaint Review: TMC MANAGEMENT

 Joe Noonan is the manager of TMC Management.  I signed a 1 year lease.  Lease ended 8/31/2015 and part of my contract was to provide a 60 days notice if i planned to move.  Things were ok living here.  I planned on renting another year since i had not heard from the company of a rent increase.  Aug 30th I paid my rent, Septmeber 3rd I received a phone call stating my lease expired and I needed to do another year lease.  I said ok no problem.  Then his wife Jocelyn Noonan stated the the rent increased on September 1st.  I told her you do realize it is September 3rd and that if I must give a 60 days notice then you must provide me with the same courtesy.  I told her i did not agree to the rent increase. Two weeks later Jessica calls to tell me Erika you know you are in a month to month lease I stated yeah ok. 

Initially I was never aware that I was in an automatic month to month lease until I did some research to find out that I was no longer in a year lease, but in a month to month lease although that is not what i thought when I paid September's rent and when I had not given my notice to move 60 days prior to September.  I thought I was going into a year lease.  Once  Jessica told me this I told her then I am moving because I do not agree to a rent increase with no prior notice. 

I did not believe I should be responsible for a month to month fee of $75 because that was not my plan nor was it TMC's plan.  I started having neighborly conversations with my neighbors to see if any of them were experiencing similiar problems and a few were, others just turned blew it off and agreed to the increase not wanting to fight the money hungry Joe Noonan.

Joe was upset that i had spoke with other tenants.  Two tenants told me that he waved their rent increases for a month/two months. Joe threatened to evict me if I did not pay the increase, month to month fee and late fees.  I gave him my notice to move in 60 cleaned that place from top to bottom better than they had cleaned it.  I even took 80 pictures and had a tenant walk through and to see how clean I had got the place I was tired but I was proud of my work and the fact that I didnt just leave the place a mess for what I had been through with Joe Noonan/TMC.

I received a security disposition stating charges of $1800 plus.  One example $82 stating damage to blinds that were so cheap and flimsy I did not allow my daughter to tocuh them, $75 for dirty kitchen, range and fridge, $50 dirty bathroom and toilet, $239 carpet cleaning per lease etc.  I have over 80 pictures to dispute these lies.  I took pictures of every wall and every floor and window and space in that apartment.  Still they charged me $1800 plus.  I want to fight this company in court.  I want this company to pay for it's lies, pay for the stress it has caused I want this company to be investigated and past tenants be contacted.  This outstanding balance of frivolous charges will go on my credit if I do not take them to court.  I intend to fight, but I am so concerned about others that have been negatively affected by this company.  There should be some kind of penalty for landlords that abuse their authority as landlords.
