The apartment was dirty before move in. We documented everything even though they tried to hurry the walkthrough. At move-out, we were not allowed to be present. They made up a false charge that a mattress was was already dirty when we moved in. Despite showing proof (pictures), they wouldn't do the right thing. My only regret is that we spent the entire day cleaning before we moved out. It was cleaner than when we moved in, but it didn't matter. If you want your deposit back, don't live here.
