Place sucks... as does management

We also got SCREWED out of our deposit, being charged an arm and a leg for a bunch of little things ($35 to clean the oven, $30 to clean each bathtub, $15 to clean each sink.... oh it goes on and on) They also claimed that our carpet had to be replaced. Somehow I find it hard to believe that they ever actually replace carpets considering that when we moved in our carpet was SO dirty and gross... to the point where you couldn't walk around barefoot without your feet literally turning black. We called in to have the carpet cleaned the first week of living there. No one ever came. We called again. Once again, no response... we lived with a dirty carpet all year. And THEN we had to PAY to get a new one! Also, the pool was always trashed and only 1/2 the dryers and washers in the laundry mat ever worked. Beware of putting your quarters in a machine only to find it doesn't work and your money WASTED. My clothes also got stollen from the mat. Favorite pair of pants GONE forever. I'm not the only one who's clothes got stolen...
Worst of all, six or so months after moving out, one of my roommates fathers gets a letter in the mail saying we are being sued for $450 (the meager portion of the deposit we had gotten back). The management sent letters threatening to ruin the credit of all of our parents if they did not recieve their money. They claimed that they had sent us TWO checks in the amount of $450 each when we were only supposed to have recieved one. We all claimed that we had only ever gotten one check from them. We also requested that they produce copies of the two cleared checks that they claimed had been sent and cashed. We never heard back from them after that. Marquis management is full of shady, money grubbing bastards. Don't ever work with them unless you're a masochist or have a lawyer.
