Do not rent here!!

First of all, there is something to be said when the management/office staff is completely different within nine months of living at Aberdeen Apartments.

That something is: GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING BECAUSE THAT PERSON TELLING YOU THE INFO WILL NOT BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED TO "CASH IT IN"!!!!

Second of all, when my husband and I needed a little extra time at the end of our lease before we moved into our new place, could we pro-rate a week or two' NO.

The "best" they could do was a full month, and that month's rent would be an additional $150 dollars on top of what we already paid monthly.

I've learned to ALWAYS BE LEARY of an apartment that asks for a $400 deposit.

We now live in a luxury apartment and what was the deposit' oh that's right: $175.

And there's no mandatory admin.

fee or carpet cleaning fee.

They pick up the tab for that, as well as re-paint between each tenant.



Swan Management sucks, and their apartments are cheap anyways!

You can TRY to obtain something in writing from them, but the manager will refuse to give you anything other than your own copy of the lease. Also, I can't believe they wouldn't pro-rate for you and your husband. Who doesn't pro-rate? Something is not right there. Cheap is right. You can tell that they spray paint everything. Also, they don't take care of the bugs at all. I had to constantly sweep rolly pollies out of the entry way. Also, spiders and silverfish are common on second floor apartments. What's up with that carpet cleaning fee? I never once saw a carpet cleaning company anywhere, yet people were constatly moving out around us.
