Hey everyone, I really need some help and visibility on this.

I signed a lease with four other people for Unit 6003 at Lorenzo Apartments in Los Angeles. But because of a glitch in their system, two of us were randomly assigned to different apartments without our knowledge. I was put on a second lease for Unit 3007, which I never agreed to, never moved into, never took keys for, and never paid a deposit for.

Now they’re falsely claiming I lived there and are trying to charge me $13,318.83 in rent and fees. They even made up fake move-in/move-out dates (they say I moved in on August 26, 2025, and moved out on September 5, 2024—not only is that completely impossible, but I WASN’T EVEN IN THE U.S. AT THAT TIME).

The craziest part? I have a recording of their own leasing agent saying I’m NOT liable for the charges. And yet, here I am, still being threatened with collections.

What I’ve Done So Far

• Contacted Lorenzo multiple times—they’re ignoring me or giving me the runaround.
• Sent proof that I never moved in (no keys, no deposit, no rent paid, no move-in checklist, and I wasn’t even in the U.S. at the time).
• Filed complaints with LA Housing Dept, CA Consumer Affairs, and BBB.
• Talking to a lawyer about possibly suing them in small claims court.

Has anyone else had issues with Lorenzo Apartments?

I’ve seen a bunch of bad reviews about them scamming people with surprise charges. If you or someone you know has been affected, please comment and share your experience.

I just want to get this resolved without having to take legal action, but at this point, it feels like they’re just trying to scam people into paying for apartments they never lived in.

Would appreciate any advice, legal tips, or just general support. Thanks, everyone. 🙏Proof that Lorenzo Apartments is scamming tenants in Los Angele
