I lived here for 10 years and 2 owners. Many problems with return of Security Deposit, no matter how much notice is given. Be sure to perform both move in and move out walk thrus with property manager. Maintenance personnel do not count and management and/or ownership will not return your deposit or provide you with a letter stating why deposit not returned. I provided a 4 month move-out notice because I was moving out of state after being a caretaker to my uncle (who had also lived in a separate apartment in the same building for 15 years while his security deposit was absorbed by the owner) died. After being promised my security deposit, I contacted a lawyer specializing in property management after 3 months of the "run around". The management refused to accept all and/any certified correspondence from either me or the lawyer. (All were returned and marked "refused"). If I had not moved out of state, I would return and take this case to small claims court since Housing Advocacy Agencies stated I could sue for 2xs the amount of the security deposit. I was not the only former tenant who did not receive their security deposit back nor was provided with an explanation. Laundry room equipment is broken the majority of the times and it is the tenant's responsibility to call for repair. In winter parking lot is rarely plowed, except for restaurant area. First come first served parking spaces of about 60 spaces for 100 units (in the summer, in the winter it goes down to about 40 spaces per 100 units). Have experienced stolen mail 2 times because it was put in the wrong central mailbox slot. No after-hours/weekend maintenance. Maintenance and office personnel are friendly, however all decisions are made by ownership, who really don't care. No matter how long you live there (mine was 10 years) there is no loyalty or honesty in the end. Mice and roaches remain even after monthly extermination. Very old building with very old sinks, doors, carpeting, etc. Hallway carpeting is horrible. Apartments are either too hot or too cold.
