I am writing in hopes of being able to get some help. I have leased at Central Park East Apartments in Bellevue,Wa for over two and a half years.

Originally I was on the lease with my now ex boyfriend. He paid the rent on the 1st of the month because he was the first to get paid,and reimbursed him when I got paid.

Last year,things fell apart, He paid $250 to have his name removed from the lease and turned over ownership to me. We spoke with our leasing agent, and was told that "I wouldn't have to sign a new lease,everything would remain the same,and I would be grandfathered in." I paid the rent every month for several months this way,no problem.

I started getting mailings with his name on them and checked back a few times to see why and ask if his name had been taken off the lease. I was assured three times that yes, he was no longer on the lease, and everything was fine.

They happily continued taking my money every month,up until my lease became due for renewal. I received a notice that they "forgot" to take his name off,and that on my own,I do not qualify and they suggested that I find a roommate (this is a studio apartment) or a co-signer as my credit wasnt up to par with the requirements to sign here. They said I had bad credit,and that I would need to move by May 2nd. Thus after almost three years living here, I would have 10 days notice to vacate. I have pets, one old sweet cat and a new kitten. I have no where to go on such short notice,and, I ran my credit report on experian and found that they never ran my credit ,they havent done so since 2014. I do not owe a thing.

I do not have any relatives alive that can help,I do not have friends who would allow me,let alone a pet to stay with them. I cannot take time off from work to run around town,I do not have $1,500 to move into a new place and even if I did there is a waitlist for apartments.

I really need help. I have two emails from Management admitting it was their mistake. I work full time,make around $1,700 a month and my rent originally was $950 a month plus extras. Now, they say they require I make 5 times the rent amount which according to them is $5,000. I personally dont know of anyone who makes that much per month here, at least not honestly. The condition of the apartments is also a factor, I fell down the stairs twice carrying groceries up as our elevator has been out for months.I never said a word.Now, they are also claiming that I owe another $968.00 in "back rent" I watched them endorse my rent check for May,place it in a deposit bag in front of me,yet they still claim I owe them for May.

Any ideas on what I can do?
