As somebody else mentioned. Before I signed the lease I told them that I want to live only for six months. I moved in in January and had to start my MBA studies in August. I explained my situation to the leasing office lady and she told me that it is OK in my case to move out earlier if I find someone else. Then I should get my $1200 deposit back. When I moved out the leasing office the lady told me that I will get the deposit in the mail. Well, I could not see my check anywere close to me. Later I contacted the Gelmarc main manager and he literally told me: "---- off!!!!!!!!!!! Go to court if you want to, I am not giving you money". I called leasing office lady to confirm what she said before I moved in "that I will get my deposit back" but instead she replied that she can not recall the details. They literally stole $1200 from me because they know if I go to court it will cost me much more.

One more thing. I usually do not talk about dead people, but in this case I am very upset about all deposit situation. Be careful: I think almost in every apartment somebody died. So it is very uncomfortable to live in there. Only after signing my lease I found out that in my apartment somebody PASSED AWAY JUST BEFORE I MOVED IN. Later I found out that GIRL WAS KILLED at the other apartment. and my neighbor had the same thing SOME TIME AGO SOMEBODY PAST AWAY IN HIS APARTMENT. It just MAKES THAT UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING WHEN IT GETS DARK AND YOU WANT TO SLEEP. be careful were you move in because you can be in one of those apartments.

Any apartment building that has older residents will have people passing away - it's called life. And better a mixed community than a bizarre bubble-world of only young people. Maybe in the meanwhile we can try our best to be good neighbors and offer to carry their groceries for them and make sure they're not too lonely. But yes, it is true that there was a murder in January of 2007 and I was a bit freaked out by it as well. The deal is, she was a 29-year old lawyer from South America who was by all reports very nice, quiet and kept to herself. Facts are that she was found stabbed several times, there was no sign of any forced entry or struggle, and the police never found the murderer - ie. she knew her attacker and it was crime of passion. Absolutely awful and yes, scary, but probably not a random event that meant there was a murderer on the loose in the building. As for random violence, you just have to keep your smarts about you as much as you can, and only go out to places and at times that you're comfortable with. Everyone has their personal calculus and pale.

And guess what else: The maintenance crew is paid so little here, that months later when it was no longer considered a "crime scene" the cleaning ladies had to go in, clean up... and they took the couches for themselves. Very sad, but also very creepy.
