[14-Jun-2023] I moved in to an apartment on 8 June 2023. Sometime between 2300 hrs on 12 June and 1430 hrs on 13 June, someone WITH A KEY let themselves into the residence and stole what little I had moved in. Stone Realty CLAIMS that the locks were changed and that only they and I have a key. They finally relented and told me that they were "doing me a favor" by letting me out of the lease and giving me my deposit back. The only "favor" they're doing is for themselves because they want me to shut up and go away. But as a disabled veteran on a fixed income, I latch on like an angry pitbull when people mess around with me, my money, my time, and/or my personal property. This "favor" that they're doing me is the equivalent of a band-aid on a bullet wound. Since they've admitted that they're the only people other than myself with a key, I believe that there are shady dealings going on here. I may have only lost what amounts to roughly $300 in clothing and food, but my privacy was violated by someone with a key. They say that they're not responsible, but they also CLAIM that only they and I have keys. I'm not even looking to recoup the value of the stolen items as they were expendable items. But I do want them to return every penny that I have paid them so far ($1,210). I would like to think that it was a former tennant, but they claim that the locks were changed. That only leaves them and me, and I know that I didn't steal my own stuff. I've filed a police report and contacted the media, the BBB, and several veteran's organizations, and I've also consulted an attorney friend for advice. DO NOT rent from these scam artists.
