Business ProfileforMaxus Properties

I leased an apartment in Commerce Tower with a stated term of 12 months and have documented timely payments for each of the 12 months. The premises were filthy (toilet not flushed; filters clogged; appliances, floors, and bathroom [mold] dirty; walls not repainted as ***mised). Informed the ***perty Manager of the unsanitary condition, who acknowledged the premises were not cleaned or painted and not ready for occupancy and ***mised to make it habitable. Additional requests unheeded. Upon expiration of the lease term, Stacey Burlington of Maxus ***perties acknowledged “holes” in the walls at lease inception and that the apartment was “not ready at move in.” Nevertheless, Maxus is attempting to collect $1,365 for cleaning and painting, even though the defects existed prior to my occupancy. Premises were surrendered at lease expiration in strict compliance with the Lease and Maxus acknowledged. Lease states it “does not automatically renew.” Although not required, notice of non-renewal was hand delivered to ***perty Manager. No holdover, no month-to-month lease, and no notice required; nonetheless, Commerce Tower is attempting to collect rental amounts of $2,243.27 for periods subsequent to the lease expiration and after I left the apartment. Commerce Tower illicitly attempted to ex***priate the undeserved amount $3,608 by sending the unfounded claim to a collection agency and wrongly reporting the spurious assertions to the credit bureaus. Again, notwithstanding the failure of Commerce Tower to comply with the Lease terms, all payments were timely and fully paid in strict accordance with Section 6 of the Lease, all obligations were fully satisfied by the tenant, and no amounts are owed. This was clearly reiterated to Commerce Tower, but it continues to ignore the documented facts or ***vide any support for its baseless claims. Please investigate this matter. Thanks for your anticipated attention.
