Somebody's gonna hurt someone,
Before the night is through.
Somebody's gonna come undone.
There's nothing we can do.
Here's why "Heartache Tonight" by the Eagles is going through my head right now:
Two months ago, when I was signing my lease (they sent it via email), I had to sign a form putting the utilities into my name. When I sent it back, apparently they couldn't zoom in on the images, so I had to re-sign everything on move-in day. Did they have me sign that form again? No. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Big mistake.
At the end of August, they sent me a letter, basically telling me that the utilities weren't in my name, and they charged me a $4.57 fee for it. Again, I thought it was over.
Today, I got another letter in the mail, telling me that I need to get the utilities in my name by the 9th or I would be charged $25. I'm left with a few questions after all this, most which will probably never be answered:
1. Why didn't they take care of this on my move-in day?
2. Why is it suddenly all my fault?
3. (somewhat unrelated, but not really) How is it that on my lease, my last name is spelled correctly, but everywhere else, they leave off the second K?
Anyway, I've sent them an email asking how I can avoid this fee. If they tell me I have to come in and sign a form, I think somebody's going to be strangled using their own tie--if they're wearing one.
