What a surprise, after reading this before. You lose your deposit -- AND get charged $500 to replace the carpeting. What a scam -- but not unexpected from the charm-free, professional-free staff at Avalon Danvers. They just sent us pictures of the stains that required complete carpet replacement. In at least 5 of the pictures, stains were non-existent. In 2 of them, stains were so small as to be almost unseeable. The handwritten "legends" on the photos represent the degree of professionalism exhibited by the alleged staff.

Since the sales arm of the company can't sell the poorly constructed, overpriced Aria condos, all of the apartment tenants moving out are being forced to pay for normal wear and tear in the guise of damage.

Amazing -- how did they replace 3bedrooms, lv rm, hall way and diningroom all for $500'''

Scam artists.

Overpriced crap.

Subhuman staff.

Renters beware.

And Georgine -- I'm just waiting for your "pretend satisfied renter but actual staff member" rebuttal here. Whatever. If I were you, I'd align myself with a company who knows property management. Avalon clearly does not.

Beware.

I am not going to comment on anything other than your question regarding how it was amazing that it only cost $500 to replace the carpet in a 3 bedroom apartment (including the living room, dining room and hallways). The reason that you did not pay more is likely because from what it looks like, you lived at Avalon Danvers from 2007 thru 2009. Carpet is typically going to hold up for about 5 years, give or take reasonable wear and tear. Because you lived at Avalon from 2007 thru 2009, they likely took the amount of time you lived there and actually gave you credit for it and only charged the difference between your time there and the five year mark in regards to cost on the carpet. And in closing, I do not work for Avalon. I am just an educated renter.
