Ripped off Former Tenant
Riverside,#2Author of original report

After I sued the company in small claims, the apartment manager, Karen Smith, brought a document that had been changed from the original document that I had received. Her document had a breakdown of the charge and a description of the deduction from my deposit. My document had only the same first paragraph, with no explanation of the deduction. When I pointed this out to her, she accused me of making the forgery. I don't know who's behind the scenes perpetrating a fraud on the court and their own customers, but it was an egregious act that I wish I could sue for again -- but I'm barred by the "litigation privilege." Basically, they got away with stealing and lying.
