Slippery Rock, PA asked in Contracts and Real Estate Law for Washington

Q: What type of lawyer would I need for a apartment complex?

Over 2 years ago I lived at an apartment in Washington State and just recently I received a notice from a debt collector. They have sent me a charge sheet for damages from the apartment. I have attempted to email and call the Village at union mills several times and they have yet to send pics of damage and they have avoided getting me to a manager to pull my file for this requested proof to verify the debt. They have deleted my resident portal so I cannot access that either. I'm also a little skeptical about this debt as around the time I moved out the leasing company was under a law suite and they lost, so I'm wondering if they are trying to recover funds after losing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. What kind of attorney do you need? A collections defense attorney with insight into landlord tenant matters would be ideal. You could reach out to different attorneys to discuss in making your decision. Good luck
