I'm so excited about the weekend being here!! the last three weekends we have had tons going on and this weekend we're doing NOTHING!!! Audie does have to work tomorrow until 2 but that's all, which is awesome! We will probably also make a trip to Target for some extra things for the new apartment, but that's it.
Tonight we had some great friends of ours, James and Sarah (hi!), over for dinner. They are settling into their new lives in NC, and we love having them so close, unfortunately we don't see them as often as we would love to! They just came over for dinner and then watched an episode of west wing, but even more we just got caught up on what's going on since we had seen them last.
Well that's about all that is going on around here, We did get a letter from our old apartment and they kept some of our security deposit to clean the apartment, which bothers me a bit, so I'm going to call and see if we can get some more of the rest of it back! i just don't think that they should charge against my security deposit in order to clean the apartment, if they had to fix a hole in the wall or something that's one thing, and they charged us 150 bucks!! is that unreasonable to anyone else?? Have you ever had to call and get some deposit money back? Any tips??
Ugh, I'm going to just call and see what they can do, and if they don't give anything back, then i guess there isn't much that we can do and we'll just deal with it, but dang if i'm not going to at least try and get it back!!
Wish me good luck, i hope i get someone reasonable on the phone tomorrow AM!!

No tips from me but good luck!
Did you keep your contract? It should say in there what they can keep your security deposit for.
Glad you're enjoying your new place!
Yeah we had already checked it and they can't charge us for things that are considered 'normal wear and tear' and they charged us to clean the carpet and 'clean the whole apartment' but didn't specify why they felt they had to do that, so i'm going to call on monday (the manager wasn't there today) and see what they say about it.
also we looked up the actual law and there is a whole list of things that they can use our security deposit for and cleaning is not mentioned, so i think that means that they can't use it for that!
