Live there if you want to go bankrupt
I'll tell you guys the story how this leasing office will charge me more than $15,000 and will put me to the collection.
The contract is joint leasing, which means no matter what the other roommate does, you will have responsibility for it. There was a roommate subleased and just disappeared, and he didn't pay anything in the next few months. I went to the office multiple times and asked them to at least take some actions, but the office just told me and the other roommate to cover his part,... literally did nothing, no email no call. So if you did not know your roommate well or your roommate will give sublease for his/her leasing, it could be extremely risky for your financial situation.
I had to move out there in September for the safety of my life because the other roommate was reported for his dog without any vaccine by the animal control. I emailed it to the office that two animal control officers came and gave him a ticket and I felt it's unsafe for me to live there with an unvaccinated dog in the living room. However, the office just neglected the email, no any response. I cleaned my room and told the office that I moved out and they didn't reply me until I sent them multiple emails. Later there was only one person living in the apartment and he left everything (furniture and properties) in the apartment with many damages made by him and his dog, and disappeared too.
Now the office charged me all the remaining money of the leasing with the damage and cleaning fees from the other roommate, which is over $15,000. Since the other two roommates disappeared, neither me and the office could contact them, I was the only person who replied their notice of collection agency, and they kept asking me to pay the balance to avoid it.
I would say all the things could be avoided if they did take any action, but they were just waiting to set you to the collection to pursue you pay more and bankrupt!!
