I LIVED IN HIGHLAND HILL FOR 1 YEAR. AFTER 1 YEAR LEASE EXPIRED, I SIGNED UP FOR 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT FOR A YEAR. 1 MONTH BEFORE MY SECOND LEASE STARTED, MY ROOMMATE CHANGED HIS MIND AND DECIDED NOT TO STAY IN HIGHLAND. I WENT TO HIGHLAND HILL OFFICE AND MENTIONED THAT WE WILL LEAVE AFTER MY LEASE OVER AND WILL NOT MOVE TO 2 BED ROOM APARTMENT THAT'S WE SUPPOSED TO MOVE NEXT MONTH. I ASKED FOR MY $350 DEPOSIT BACK FOR THE 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT REFUND MY DEPOSIT. SO I HAVE TO PAY $350 FOR THE APARTMENT THAT I NEVER LIVED FOR A SINGLE DAY. SO, I TOLD THEM THAT I WILL FIND A NEW ROOMMATE AND WILL SIGN FOR NEW APARTMENT. I FOUND A FRIEND AND TOOK HIM TO HIGHLAND OFFICE AFTER 2 HOURS TO SIGN UP THE LEASE. HIGLAND PEOPLE SAID THEY RENTED THE APARTMENT TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND THEY WILL NOT REFUND MY $350.00. THAT MANAGER IS VERY MEAN AND HAS NASTY ATTITUDE. I HAD TO CALL COPS. COPS TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO COURT. THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU MOVE TO HIGHLAND HILL.

You make the deposit to save the room for you. Deposits on apartments are always non-refundable. They do this so they don't get screwed over.

Take them to conciliaton court....what they did was wrong.....in Minnesota landlords have to pay you back double the deposit.
