    On 09/28/2024 I receive a statement from Watson Management Incorporated not returning my security deposit including falsified invoice for a non-junk removal of $395 a job this junk removal company didn't do! Also charge for balcony blinds that were falling off daily when I first rented this apartment from Extant Management I rented from for 8 years before Watson started managing.This company they also State move out cleaning wasn't done which is false charging $325 when I have photos of my apartment #4 for and apartment Apt 2 where my mother resided . They also put a $50 charge on my account from my mother's apartment #2 stating she had junk outside her place which is false also the main issue is I stayed in the apartment 4 not Apt 2. Next they are a charging double utility fees for months between May to August where during these months we had our garbage piling up for months at a time and when I did notify Watson management they would always say they would take care of it. It got to the point us tenants would have to clean up the garbage mess. This went on for months and months $275 for balcony slider and small kitchen window blinds. Only blind I claim is the small kitchen window blind as I stated the balcony blind was falling apart the first day I moved in where I inform Extant management about this if Watson management research moving notes submitted to Extant management they will know this information. Charging $120 for supposedly carpet cleaning fees where I told them I had already shampooed the carpets because I do professional detailing and have my own commercial shampooer the total credits they put down for my security deposit isn't accurate they didn't put my pet deposit that I always had transferred over from place to place with Extant management.What is a maintenance administration fee 10% of invoices per lease charge of $106.67. Watson management stole my deposit and then States I owe $578 two days prior to this I submitted a review against Watson Mgt.

    Watson Management has claimed to went out of business and the same lady ***** answer the phone who as always work for Watson management. She stated they sold to Windermere property leasing. Which I have filed a small claims suit against them, I have no way to serve them due to them stating they are no longer Watson Management. I'm asking if this can be looked into?

    Desired Outcome:
    I filed a small claim suit against this business Watson management that now says they sold a business to Windermere property leasing. Now I cannot complete my small claims against them because I don't know where to serve the papers. I'm asking for this to be looked into to see if Watson management is still in business at the same location.

    Watson property management is increasing my rent from 650 dollers to 999 dollers and they said it is due on February 1 st. I never received a 60 day rent increase notice.

    We have spoken with ************* by phone on several occasions. We explained  to him that the notice was sent to him by *****, the former property manager through December 31, 2022, in accordance with RCW *****. We requested a copy of the notice from ***** which they immediately provided. We subsequently provided the tenant with a copy of that notice.

    I am rejecting this response because:I never received a 60 day rent increase notice from nukey at all. Watson property management made me pay 999 dollers rent, when I should only pay 650 dollers. Because  I never received a 60 day rent increase notice in the mail.they failed to inform me due to thier greed.

    Sincerely,
