Resident 2012 - 2013

This apartment complex started out like a simple one with reasonable prices and apartments. However, there have been plenty of times when my roommate and I have felt taken advantage of. For example, we agreed to have hardwood floors put in before we moved in because the carpet was aged. That cost us $40 a month. At the end of our lease we decided to move on because the rent was raised to be raised considerably. Most of our problems came from moving out. On our "pre-move out" inspection we were informed that we would need to patch the nail holes in the walls and they would provide paint to touch up the spots and that we must have the apartment "professionally cleaned" and were given a card of a cleaner they preferred...sure that turned out to be $200. However, when the move out inspection came around we were charged to have walls painted for scuff marks on the walls where furniture previously was and for light bulbs that had burned out. We did the research to verify that the state of Maryland quantifies these things as "wear and tear" that the leaser must cover as the "cost of doing business." We were charged anyway a fee of $200. And finally, the last month we were in the apartment for half the month which was supposed to be pro-rated to a half months rent. This is not how they do it. They withdraw the entire months rent and then give you back the rest after you move out and all fees are taken care of. I would love to have fought the fees but court for $200...well played spyglass. Unfortunately this is also pretty much the only option unless you can find a house for rent. One last comment, if you must rent here try not to get a bottom apartment there have been major trouble with sewage leaking from the top apartment into the lower.
