At the end of my 1 year lease, they wanted to raise the rent 23% (that's not a typo). It kind of makes sense, as noone wants to move after just getting settled into their apartment. I suppose if 1 of every 3 tenents is pound-foolish enough to pay the increase, then Camden wins. The other 2 units will get rented out at the cheap rate, and they'll stick it to them the following year.
It's not illegal, but it certainly sucks. You either pay a huge monthly rent increase, or you come up with first/last rent and find a new apartment. Either way, you're screwed.
To recap: if you move into Camden Harbor, you will get taken to the bank when you renew your lease.

Wait until you find that they take your full deposit claiming cleaning expense to "return the apartment to the condition at which you moved in", which means professionally cleaned, regardless of how clean you leave the apartment. Insist on being on site for the final move out inspection and fight for every cent.

Yep, you're 100% correct. Wish I had your advice a month ago ;o)

Yep. Same thing happened to us on the move-out. We cleaned the place to no avail. Same excuse was given. Keep in mind that the Camden Corp have been screwing over people for years. Not just in LB either. There management staff on site and at corporate will all burn in hell one day.
