Watch Out!!! This apartment will take all your security deposit when you move out. They'll charge you for every little thing they can, ranging from air filter, shower head, screen door, kitchen hood filter, drip pans, etc. to $150 of cleaning and maintenance fees.

I was charged over $50 on maintenance fee so the guy could come in and replace those items mentioned. Then, another $55 for carpet cleaning, and $100 for cleaning fee, in addition to carpet cleaning.

The grand total was close to $300, the amount of my deposit. It came down to I sponsored the unit preparation costs for the next tenant.

In terms of my lifestyle and apartment conditions, I don't own any pet and had never cooked in the unit (I eat at a relative's place.) In addition, I have no children and was the only tenant for the unit. The unit and its accessories (filter, etc.) didn't come brand new either. And because I wasn't nitch-picking and didn't note every fine detail of how terrible they looked, now they blamed me for those items. In the past, I had never paid more than $70 on the move out costs until this apartment ripped me off.

And don't let the low rent fools you. Located in the ghetto of Sacramento, the apartment isn't safe for a female tenant or those with children. I found that the guy who lived upstair was a drug-dealer with a loaded shotgun hidden behind his front door when the police came by and took him away. There were occasional police raids with spot light from the police's helicopter. I heard a few gunshots while I stayed there. The family who lived near by always screamed at thier children with foul words. And the facility itself was hardly even cleaned. There were trash and dried leaves everywhere most of the time. The laundry room and equipments were dirty, animal hair, stains, dirt, you name it.

I finally saved enough money to move out. Think twice before you trade your quality of life off with a few bucks of savings. If you can spare another $70/mo., check out the Park at Pointwest across from CalExpo. It's a much nicer place with neat and clean facility. Of course, the staff are more professional and easier to work with too.
