Now that all the "armchair people" have spoken...... Without move in/ move out inspections you're screwed. If you just left the apt it's considered abandonment and that puts YOU behind the 8 ball. Documentation is the name of the game and you can bet your ass they have photos and you have squat.
You think its just a credit score issue?? WRONG... They can turn a judgement into a garnishment with the stroke of a pen and you'll start seeing the deductions in your paycheck. There are sooooo many ways they can collect their money with a good, qualified, capable attorney. You said they manage multiple properties, this ain't their first rodeo, but it seems to be it IS your first....
Instead of getting your back up and out of joint you should approach them in a calm manner (assuming you haven't already burned that bridge) and try to come to an agreement that suits both parties. Otherwise they wind up the attorney and them your paying not only the actual damages but now there are attorney fees to consider.....
It was their policy under Covid not to do walk through inspection. Reaching out to lawyers today.
