Conquest Strikes Again

in an email from my lessor, conquest housing: "Everybody is probably very excited to move into his or her apartment at Tuscany, and we are looking forward to meeting all of you. The building is now 95% complete, however we are going through our final set of inspections with the city. These inspections are required to be completed prior to move-in, and are taking longer than originally anticipated. For this reason, the Tuscany building will not be available for move-in until Friday, August 18th....We apologize for this inconvenience....See you soon!"

get this. they are going to pay for one storage unit and will pro-rate the month of august. and they included a handy guide to hotels around usc, for "temporary housing." thanks. assholes. yea, i can afford $219 a night to stay at the biltmore downtown. that's only, what, $4,000? chump change. un-fucking-believable. there isn't a hotel on that list that's under $100 a night. so let's do the math. i would've been paying about $300 to stay in tuscany for the first half of august. it's not ready. so they suggest i pay $2,000, in the very least, to stay in a hotel for those 18 days. that's only a 570% markup. totally fair. fucking dickweeds. oh yea, thanks for copping the storage fee. makes a huge difference. jerkoffs. the los angeles times, the california better business bureau, the california state attorney general's office and the conquest management will all be receiving scathing letters from yours truly. there's nothing more to say about this. un-fucking-believable.

update: i've consulted many legal experts and they all tell me i have no legal leverage. it's still a shitty move on their part. after telling us repeatedly that everything was on schedule and we would be able to move in august 1st. forshame conquest, forshame.
