Hello,
I was informed yesterday Aug17 that my apartment that I am supposed to move into on Aug 20 would not be ready until at least Aug 26. While this is of course super-inconvenient it is actually going to cost me and my roommates a decent amount of money. We had all already taken off work to move in and we will have to take off more days of work. For myself, I am losing $175 for missing that second day of work and my roommate is losing $150 from having to take off more days of work. They are checking us into a hotel for the week and we will have to eat out for every meal since we will not have a kitchen, this is of course very expensive. We also have to rent a storage unit to put our stuff in. They were also charging us $600 for the month of Aug. I guess my question is can I expect to compensate for the financial loss because they failed to honor the move-in date of the lease.
I am sending the property managers a letter with our request to be compensated for everything I said above but if they do not agree do I have good grounds for a civil suit of some sort? or is there anything I can do??
