Bella Vista Apartments

(not the manager) and I tell her the situation and I apologize and am understanding if there is a penalty however she says she will take care of it. One month after move out date I call to see the status of my deposit ($250) and I get told I'll be called back but that it takes about 30-45 business days to receive the deposit which is absurd but fail to mention anything of a collection due. Now nearly 2 months after move out I get calls from collections asking for basically a full months of rent. First of all I understand my fault in the matter however a full months of rent as a penalty is insane and not to mention the fact that this all could've been communicated in person is irritating and extremely unprofessional. I dont like the idea of paying 780 dollars when I wasn't even living there but I'd pay it knowing my faults especially when this could've all been avoided or at least warned about when I was still there not half way across the country 2 months later. Cowardice, stupidity, and lack of communication. As for the amenities this place is okay but given the impotence of office staff I recommend to stay far away from here. Not to mention they also jumped up prices while we were still living there mid way through our lease.
