Mac Real Estate - Gayla Smith - Timberview Apartments ripoff, scammed me for pro rated rent! New Orleans Louisiana
Ok not sure if this rippoff but i sure feel like i have. Me and my wife decided to move in these apartments there name is Timberview apartments. They are suppose to be low income apartments when we got the call that the paper work had gone through and check out for us we paid our deposit of 150 dollars of coarse so they can keep it for us.
well we went and signed papers turn the electric on and waters. when we step into the apartment it was a wreck the last person that rented had destroy it badly to where they had to rip up the ruggs and then put new tile this is not the problem tho . It was the mess the there were not finish fixing up holes in the walls and after the tile was put down the place had crime and dirt everywhere like a play ground the manager there gayla smith didnt not say anything about cleaning it like it should of een and should of been ready to be lived in and livable.
When she gave us the keys she made up pay pro rated rent of 199 dollars. She then kept acting like yall can move into the apartment when there was no way becaze they didnt finish fixing it all up next day. we went in and start to clean up that is where we decide this isnt worth it and decided this is not acceptable.
we then called galya smith back to tell her we decided not to take it. the deposit i didnt expect back but far as the pro rated rent, i didnt understand why not. she said she called the company and they said no becaze they gave us the keys i said to her that we did not physicaly move into the apartment and we only clean it that was it.
at the same time other renters were telling us that they were not happy with how things were going there and alot have moved out becaze of bad management . Well we called her twice asking for the 199 back same answer was given but each time. she said she would call us back. she never did. we had to call her back.
i am not sure if the main company was called but low income more like taken away from the low income people. i just dont think this was right. we only had the keys for two days, that was it, and they had the deposit for there troubles not keep the pro rated rent.
