I lived in different apartments before, Home Coming took away all my deposit and demanding me for the entire non-sense fee. (New carpet, cleaning, painting) after I move out.

They charged me extra $1,000 after I moved out. ($120 for cleaning $760 for carpet replacement $110 for painting)

I did deep clearing before I moved out--I spent all days using "Lime Away cleaner" to clean their apartment, wiped all the toilets, sinks, refrigerator and counter. Emptied all the cabinet / refrigerator and dumped all the trash when I moved out.

My family and visitor NEVER wear shoes inside the apartment: My daughters are allergy to dirty carpet. Therefore, our carpet is very clean when I moved out.

The walls had no nail hole/ dirty spot at all when I moved out.

I am glad that I took pictures of this totally- cleaned apartment on the day I moved out. I am going to fight for my deposit back.

I am sorry you had to go through the same experience that I had when I moved out of the Homecoming Apt. Lewis is a multi million doller corporation whose profits are not what they were a few years ago when the housing market was great and Lewis racked in the money. I think they are trying to recover loses by gouging their residents.

Take them to small claims court. They cannot charge you for normal wear and tear. They cannot charge you for carpet replacement unless you damaged the entire carpet. Lewis is not the only corporation that retains the security deposit. THEY ALL DO. They rely on tenants ignornace of California landlord tenant laws. Judges hate when landlords try to bilk tenants out of their security deposit. Don't lie down and take it! Take then to small claims court.
