Lived here for exactly one year and left my unit in significantly better condition than when I arrived - I steam cleaned the dirty carpets when I moved in, fixed numerous items etc. Didn't get a dime of my deposit back, and was nickle and dimed about many little items that actually existed when I moved in. Couldn't be bothered to fight a losing battle with office staff.
Like many others have said, this place has amazing potential and it's a shame that it's been allowed to become so run down.
