I moved in 3 days ago. Just moved to LA and my daughter is helping me. We toured the apartments, was shown one apartment. I asked to see the actual apartment I would receive. After following our agent walking in 4 inch heels, we arrived to my current apartment 20 minutes later and the agent couldn't open the door, said she forgot the right key. I choose to put a deposit down based on the appearance of the apt. I saw, my daughter had to get to work. I needed the apt. immediately because my son was moving into a new apt and could not keep his cat. I signed the lease and paid $1400 deposit, $3080 for initial rent due. This was classic bate and switch. My current apt. has worn & dirty carpet, scratched cabinets, cabinet doors that are slanted, mothball and mold smell in the closet, broken toilet, permanent water stains on the faucets, scratched refrigerator door. During the inspection tour I asked if I should follow Nicole and she said she was just checking to see if everything works. She turned the tv on, checked the water and a few other things. I was asked to sign a paper which now I know was the official inspection report. Needless to say none of the problems were listed. It is my fault that I signed papers without reading them, but I was in a hurry because of family problems. When I moved in the day after signing the lease the TV did not work because the batteries had been removed. The next day I reported the problems to the community manager. She promises to replace the carpet with hardwood flooring. The maintenance manager promises to fix the cabinet doors. I am hoping these promises will be met, but I am angry that they would rent an apt in this shape. I am not sure what my rights are if they do not fulfill their promises. Be careful.
