Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Rental Issues

On a 3mo lease in CA ending Sept1. I left Aug25, had the walkthru Aug24, told prop manager I was leaving Aug25 n furniture was 2 b picked up Aug25. Prop manager called Sept 12 n told me 1/2 furniture was still in the apt n she was charing me $792 rent for the time it was still in there. Furniture co only picked up 1/2 the furniture b/c there were 2 separate leases 4 me n my rmmate even tho their cust serv ppl didnt find or tell me that when I called to schedule furniture pickup. Can the apts charge me even tho she didnt check the apt and didn't notify me until 3 weeks later? And is the furniture co responsible to pay ne charges the apts may give due to their error? Theres much more to this story if someone wants to email me. thank you.

Re: Rental Issues

If your furniture was left behind for a fairly significant period, then the apartment management would be entitled to charge your reasonable storage fees under the circumstances. As far as the furniture moving company goes, they may or may not be liable for all or some of your damages here, however, we would need to know more about your agreement with them to best advise you here.
