XXXX apartments is trying to collect an amount of money for maintenance and cleaning of the apartment and they sent me to collection with XXXX.without informing me on a timely manner. 
I understand they changed management, I was waiting to get my deposit returned because when I left the place I was informed that I would have to wait a while. I kept in touch with XXXX to check the status of my deposit. When I left the apartments I informed her of my new address and she documented it. Later, checking in with her I found out I was sent to collections. 
XXXX suggested to call the collection agency. I asked her why? She tried to help me but she said she did n't know. The collection agency was then the XXXX who informed me about the charges over the phone. I asked them to send it in writing. 
The apartment complex did n't provide with an accounting of the moneys deducted from the security deposit within 21 days per California civil code 1950.5. 
Regardless, my deposit well covers all the charges they are stipulating and I still have not get any money back. The manager told I should not be charged for the carpet cleaning since it was not clean when I moved in. I consider that the charges are grossly exaggerated.
