True and honest review:I guess I should have looked at the reviews online before I actually moved in. I am a veteran who was going to school right around the corner from the villas. So this place seemed perfect to rent from. The price wasn't to bad especially because we had a great dane with us and not many people allow tenants to have animals. We searched different villas in the Ypsilanti and the other apartments were absolutely disgusting. The smell the apartments were in bad shape, but easily identifiable through a walk through. But the wife and I found a decent apartment building that we decided to go with. I guess it started when we first moved in and had an altercation with the apartment drunk. He lived right above us and would continuously bang on the floor at all hours of the night. I went and asked him to stop personally and he agreed but continued to bang on the floor. I went back and asked him maybe two days later and that's when he was blaming me for him getting kicked out. A verbal argument pursued but nothing more. There were some hood rats that lived in the apartment partying occasionally you would see people ------- in there cars in the parking lot. We never really needed to call maintenance or anything else so I cant tell you if that would have went well or not. The reason why I am writing this is because at the end of our lease agreement my wife and I wanted to move but because of school I couldn't at the that time. I signed a lease for one month and as soon as I signed it I got a call back from a different place one more suited for a husband and wife and ran to the front office to get our contract back. It must have been only a couple hours after we turned it in but they wouldn't give it back to us. Not only did they threaten us with lawyers but if we left they would charge us double the rent for each month and anything else they wanted to. We signed this contract one month before our first lease was done. Extending our first lease just one month. So at this time we only had two months left. They said that if we left now that they could charge us a little of 8,000$. Completely messed up!!! My wife and I obviously could not afford that. So we stayed the extra month and when we told the front office that we were leaving they informed us that we had an additional month to stay. My wife and I were completely confused by this. They said we signed another lease saying that we were staying till October of 2012. We argued with them saying that we only signed one lease extending our stay one month. We demanded to see the contract and the woman that was with us that signed the lease put an additional two months on the one month contract. So having enough with all of this we decided to leave. I moved back here to new York because of how ----ed up Michigan can be. I just found that they are charging me an additional 1400$ for what ever. Mind you it was a little over a month left. They obviously did not give back the security deposit and still charged 1400$. The villas is just a con to get as much money as they can out of you. Do not rent from the villas. There are almost 200 horrible reviews for this place!!!!
