In mid-January, I selected an apartment complex, and got the green light from Mom to apply to live there, so I did. A couple of days later my father said that they weren't going to pay for me to live there. My mother talked to somebody from the Villas (the apartment complex) and told them that she wasn't going to sign the guarantor forms and to discount my application.
I'm upset that I can't live where I'd wanted, and am discouraged of finding an apartment within walking distance of UT for a cheaper price. I finally find one that's marginally (50 bucks) cheaper, I apply to live there, sign my lease, everything is peachy.
Yesterday evening, my mother got a phone call from a representative from the Villas saying that I was liable for a 1-year lease with them. They didn't even call me! They claim to have called me yesterday and sent me messages, but I didn't get any messages yesterday. I called and talked to somebody (presumably the manager?) today, and he said that I was screwed, and spouted a bunch of crap at me. I pointed out that I did not go to the office and sign a lease, and my parents DECLINED to sign their forms (and that they knew that), so my application should have been rendered invalid and that there was no way that I could have any sort of binding contract with them.
I think that just made him angry. :-\ He then just kept insisting that I owed him 15000 dollars. Awesome.
Ironic: the Villas is where I really wanted to live in the first place. The only reason my parents declined allowing me to move there is because my mother has no analytical ability and misinterpreted the data that I sent her. She told my dad that it cost 1700/month, when it is really 1250/month, not very much more than Jefferson26 at all. ::headdesk::
