Be careful whom you rent with, at Mountain Club. The apartments are not rented out by the association. The promotional website belongs to an outsider who's just out to make money out of you. He makes the website look like an official one. I've heard rents ranging from 1100 to 1395 a month! Dont get fooled by the look of the apartment for a higher rent. I had rented my apartment last year, but had to terminate my lease early within 8 months. First, the landlord (he rents a lot of apartments in the complex through this promotional website) charged me an additional month's rent as early termination fees. Then he charged me for repainting the entire apartment (900 bucks!) even though it was in pristine shape. He also charged me for replacing the freezer door (for a small speck of a dent, which might as well have existed when i moved in), and other points "as covered in the rent agreement". All in all, I hardly got anything back from my security deposit. Make sure you read the Lease Agreement really really carefully, as this person threatens to give you a legal notice at every instance. Dont beleive a word of assurance that he gives different from the agreement, as he will go back on his word later. Oh yes (how could I forget this)! He did not give me his Bank account number to send the rent, and then charged me for late fees when i followed the convoluted route he suggested, and missed the deadline. I am really thankful I'm rid of the horror of dealing with him! I really wanted to warn the person renting the apartment after me, but was scared of the complete forfieture of my security deposit (at the end the landlord gobbled most of it up anyways!). And I got to know that he hiked up the rent by a full 100 bucks a month!!! Other than the real pain of a landlord that we got, the complex was really quite good and well maintained. the laundry and maintenence was top notch, and we also got additional storage space. The floors however, are really creaky. During my first few nights, I was sure there was someone else in my house, but then realised it was the upstair neighbors walking around in their apartment.
