I lived in the apartment for 7 months and we are happy until we moved out. First, they charged us 5 days back pay because we have to fulfill the 30 days notice, then we got billed for carpet clean of $140, moveout clean of 110, wall paint for 140 a total of $710.00 I was so upset because we didnt trash the place, we didnt even hang a single picture frame on the wall. Well i spoke to one of the girls and she said that when your back touches the wall, it discolors the pain because of the perspiration, etc... I wish me and my husband leaned on the wall all the time after we worked out so my perspiration will stain the wall, damn! And i wish we didnt vacuum the floor when we moved out cow we still get charged $110. I wish ...
Well, im glad im out of there, i will pay my bill and hope people will learn from my lesson. Please, before u sign the lease, ask them to explain the move out expenses so you will not get charged for painting the wall because you perspire a lot!

The trick with this apartment complex, is to document as much as possible when moving in. This complex is notoriously cheap when it comes to flipping their apartments. They don't do detailed cleaning, they do a cheap carpet cleaning, and only spot paint the place. They rarely if ever do inspections of the place.
When moving in, document every little scratch, chip, or dent in the wall. Make the apartment look like it is a total "rat trap" when you move in and document it on the move-in checklist, and keep a signed copy. We did this, and the only thing they could charge us for was carpet cleaning.
If you don't do this, and the apartment finds this, they WILL charge you for it. Maybe you saw the big mark on the wall and didn't report it. When it comes to move out, Shea will charge you for it whether you did it or not. You have legal rights as a renter and should be aware of them. Be prepared, and informed, and don't let the complex play on your lack of knowledge!
