Having thought about it some more talk to a lawyer specializing in representing tenants.
At the moment, you’re stuck in the middle of an ugly mess and you need to get legal representation to protect yourself and recoup your $4400 of rent/deposit, moving costs and now legal fees. It’s roughly three months of living in the place, but you’ll want to stay on the right side of the law.
More importantly, representation now addressing the accused rent skimmers may prevent them from pulling further fraud with your information. You are a ripe target with excellent credit and they likely have all your info from your rental application. You’ll need to add a credit watch and instant notification of any applications to your credit.
