Me and my boyfriend were suppose to move into an apartment we found on craigslist on october 1st , we signed a lease that states the 1st would be our move in date. Our landlords changed our move in date because the current tenants were not ready to move out. On the 3rd we drove by the apartment to see if they were moved out , like we were told by the landlord(that they would be moved out on the 3rd) we saw that they were not moved out, so we contacted our landlord and asked what was going on. They told us the current tenants were now not moving out until the 10th and that we would not be able to move in until the 11th. I then sent them an email confirming everything we talked about and i got a reply that said we will just give you your money back tomorrow!!!. They did not want to confirm, and after calling them to ask why they said they did not want to deal with the apartment and were not renting it out. We then said fine when will we get a refund , he yelled at us and told us he was not a bank and we would not get 2000 cash back that he would give us a personal check. I told him no , we gave you 2000 cash over a month ago and we want cash back. Aboout 3 hours later i received an email stating if you want cash back you can meet with my attorney and sign a release for the apartment/ lease

i responded that we never broke the lease, that they did. and i contacted an attorney. He said he wants to write a demand letter for 6,000 for unfair and deceptive practices.

Also they have posted our apartment on craigslist every day looking for new tenants to move in , even though they have our money and we have a signed lease for the 1st of october.

They also discriminated against us because they asked for a co – signer simply because they said we are young. im 21 and my boyfriend is 22. They didnt check any of our references or do a credit check.

Now we have no place to live and are staying with his mother, she is moving by the end of the month simply because we were moving into this apartment. we signed the lease on 09/11/2009 almost a month ago

If anyone could please help us , give any advice, or if something similar happened to you , please reply. We really do not know how to go about this because were afraid he is not going to give us our money back and we are afraid they are running a scam.
