Poor Apartments, will definitely steal everything they can from your deposit.

I'm not really going to comment on a whole lot here because pretty much everyone has already said it.

Yes, they will do everything in their power at the end of the semester to take your entire security deposit. My roommate and I wrote down every little thing that was wrong with the apartment at move in and still ended up losing a lot of our deposit. But I have friends who Weida actually charged money on top of keeping the deposit. Just protect yourself. It's no mystery. There are good landlords at Purdue and there are snakes who try to take advantage of college students. Weida is a snake.

Yes the apartments are old and beat. Their strategy is to charge person A for everything being dirty, and then not clean it. That way, when person B moves in, all the dirty/broken stuff is still there, and B will then be charged the same way.

When we moved in almost all the doors had holes in them. One was missing the doorknob. The bathroom ceiling was peeling. There was a huge crack in the ceiling of our kitchen. The floors had stains all over them. etc.

So if you're gonna risk it and go with Weida, do yourself a HUGE favor and literally check every inch of the place out, and make sure you mark it on the move-in sheet. Because they WILL do everything they can to keep your deposit.

(PS - make sure you check the batteries in your fire alarm when you move out, if they are dead, they will mark your fire alarms as being broken or tampered with or something of that sort, and charge 50$ a piece)

My roommate and I switched landlords this year and the difference in service is remarkable. Just something to keep in mind.

Good Luck
