Attorney to help with Fraudulent Apartment

Jennifer McPherson

Posted
Ok this is a long story so I will make it short... we live in CO, my 20 yr old was going to go to college in TX. She (and me as her grantor) signed a lease at CEV Canyon student apartments. She later found out the school requires her to live on campus if she is not 21 or does not have 60 credits (she is 20 and only has 58 credits). She could not afford to pay both the apartment and to live on campus so she is not going there now. I called tha apartments and they said we could relet and we can advertise and they would do everything they could to help. The manager told me they thought it would go fast cause 2 bedrooms each with a private bath are very popular and hers was the only one left. Fast forward now on month two of paying rent. I referred a few people to the apartments and never heard a thing. All the while my daughter is paying rent. I decided to have my husband call and pretend like his daughter was looking for a two bedroom. They told him they don't have any only 4 bedrooms. The next day he called them and specifically asked if they had any two bedroom relets. They told him no. I called them and confronted the guy and he told me his employee didn't know and that they were telling people about her place.... lip service.... The apartment had previously emailed my daughter who her roommate was and her contact info. So my daughter texted her and asked if anyone was living in her room which is a locking room and she told her that a girl had just moved in. Needless to say I feel like we have a pretty good case of fraud against this place. I am wondering if I should get an attorney here in CO or one in TX? And any recommendations??? Thank you! Jennifer

Just email them and tell them you know that They have rerented the room, your obligations are now over, you'll be making no more payments, there will be repercussions if they falsely file any kind of non payment reports, etc.  Then, forget it and move on.
