- claims that I ruined a couch they furnished to me. The couch in my apartment was perfect when I left it. They only sent a final notice letter to me to collect for it six months after I moved out of the unit. When I asked for pictures of the " ruined '' couch, they sent a picture of the underneath of one couch cushion that had a stain on it with a date marked on a dry erase board. They could not even prove it was the couch in my apartment. Even if it was, I did not cause the stain, and a small stain on the underneath of one couch cushion does not warrant a $500.00 charge for a new couch. I tried to negotiate with them, saying I would pay for the couch if they gave it to me. They told me they no longer had the couch. They have no proof this couch was even the one in my apartment.
