has anybody else had horrific experiences with leasing companies? i won't name which i rented from because im genuinely afraid they're gonna sue me (bc they threatened to...) but the rat and insect infested windowless one i rented from direct debited me for rent after i moved out when the lease ended, then when i finally got through by phone (they dodged my calls for almost a week first) to ask them to fix it they told me basically to get fucked and the woman on the phone (who was SO RUDE!!!) said "call the police if you want we don't care" ...... and then when i disputed it with my bank they sent the payment back twice manually just so they could come back and threaten me with the cops and a lawsuit saying *I* stole from them!!!! i just cannot believe these actual scum bags and so many ppl i know had similar experiences w the same or other companies, i don't understand why they feel okay with squeezing so much money out of students and threatening and fear-mongering them all over these shitty apartments that violate the fire code :(
