MY LANDLORD ROBBED ME

I recently moved out of my apartment, and I did everything right; I gave a 30 day notice and paid my final month's rent. I scrubbed down my floors, the bathroom, and kitchen appliances to make sure everything was squeaky clean so I would get my deposit back. (I didn't renew my lease for the same reasons everyone else complains about: they had jacked up my rent and the staff is very rude and unprofessional)

They only gave me half of my security deposit back, and they charged me cleaning fees for pretty much everything. They even listed a cleaning fee for windows that I don't have and accused my cat of having fleas, it's as if they inspected the wrong apartment. The whole thing made me feel so outraged, I don't even know what to say. I am a very clean person, and my cat is 13 years old and has never had a single flea. She doesn't even go outside and has lived in apartments her whole life. This is the first time in the half a dozen apartment complexes I've ever lived in that I was robbed my security deposit.

They even charged me close to $20 for moving out a day early. EARLY. I turned in my keys one day early so they turned around and charged me for it... not to mention I had paid my full month's rent, so technically, I should be getting a pro-rated refund. I paid for the last day of the month twice just for dropping my keys off the night before my lease was up.

Don't move into this place, it will be nothing but grief. I found a huge one bedroom apartment in Heritage Hill for the same price as a studio, I would highly recommend it. Or, move to Regency Park which is near Breton and 28th, I've had good experience there. Or, try Pine Ridge in Walker, the staff is very professional! :)

We live here and definitely feel for you...we are not looking forward to the day we have to move out....wondering how much they will charge us! We don't like the management here either!

We just renewed our lease - have lived here for many years and don't know what you are talking about. All of our requests were taken care of (NO CHARGE) and they cleaned our carpet (NO CHARGE) and they came out at 10pm to fix our A/C (NO CHARGE)and they installed fountains in our lake for us to enjoy (NO CHARGE). Since the new management took over, this place is cleaner, and problems are handled immediately. Everyone I talk to in the office has been more than helpful and we finally see things that were ignored getting done. So not sure what you are talking about. One Very Happy Resident!
