Landlord Billing Rent For Wood Floors, We Have Carpet
Hi, I'm completely out of my league here, I have never talked or known anyone who has had to get a lawyer so I'm not even sure if this situation calls for it. I'm in Arkansas, my landlords in the last year or so started to change the units floors from carpet to wood. Because of this, they keep hiking the rent up. Well, I do not have wood floors even though I'm paying the same amount of rent for the wood floor units. I called and asked, they said I can rent a pod and move everything out for a day so they can go in and change the floorings. Or, I could move into a unit that has wood floors, but I would have to pay the security deposit again (now $650 when previously it was $450) even though I am currently a resident for three years now. I asked if they would be compensating me for the cost of a pod, they said no. I asked if they are still going to charge me the cost of wood floors without having wood floors, they said yes. I feel like I'm being ripped off here and in order to get a fair rent pay they are expecting me to pay for a rented pod to move everything out in or double pay on a security deposit. Is there anything I can do or is it easier to just move out. My lease ends on 6/30
