I received a letter in the mail today from the old property management I was dealing with back in Las Vegas. No security deposit back. Long story short, I may have to pay to replace the carpet! I call bullshit, especially since I know there is someone already living there (she moved in on the 29th of this month, I know this because we are friends) and the letter I received was dated for the 30th stating that they were currently waiting on estimates.
Someone tell me how this works out!? That is an ass-clown move to pull on new tenants...
In all honesty, I am wondering if anything will actually become of it. I sent my friend now living there a message asking if they had said anything about replacing the carpet, because if they didn't and they try charging me then I shall be releasing the Rage Hippo for non-PC purposes.
And now for something completely different (well, still related..)-
After getting this letter and giving into a freak out at the amount of money this could put me out, I began considering my options. Let's face it, if my debt isn't paid off (in addition to my lingering medical bills), then there will be no Ukraine for Kim :(
Awesome option put into play to solve this debt problem, allow me to save money for items I will need to buy for service, and (if needed) pay for this new carpet: 401k.
Reasoning? I have had one since I the day I turned 21, and let's face it how many people have been lucky enough to have one for three years going into their 24th birthday this day in age? Not a large chunk, I'm sure. That being said, I pulled enough money to cover all of my current debt and doctor's bills with the mindset of "I have time to save for my retirement, if I am not dead by then." Better to use that money to help me achieve an amazing Peace Corps experience that I have been chosen for!
Weight, thank you for being lifted off of my shoulders!
That property thing may spiral out of control real quick if you're not careful, but I hope that's not the case. A lot of times stuff like that ends up in small claims court. (also, Rage Hippo, LOL i luv u)
ReplyDeleteI too may have to take a tiny little dip out of my ROTH IRA, but that's only if I don't sell my car in time for departure and instead have to sign it over to my parents.
Money. Sucks.
