Resident 2018 - 2020

Things you must know or consider before moving into the Village Apartments. 1. The amount of mold in the apartment was extremely bad. 2. You will not get your Security deposit back. 3. Landlord will enter into your apartment without notice and when your not home. This surprised me because I thought this was illegal. Washington law states that if they suspect a water leak, then they can enter your apartment without consent. I came home a few times thinking that someone has been in my place. So I set up a camera, sure enough the landlady went into my apartment. Even though there was sign of a water leak. Things that will happen after you are finished with your lease and don't sign another lease and go month to month. 1. Landlady and owners become very aggressive 2 Your apartment will be inspected more often, with aggressive letters on your door with words that like " Demand you let us in your apartment for an inspection or you have 7 days to vacate. The inspections were always around every holiday, making your life very inconvenient. 3. My rent changed from the 5th to the 1st. With a late fee of 75 dollars if my rent wasn't on time. 4. You will be required to have renters insurance. 5. You will be charged a water bill, which they use a non PSE water counter to calculate your bill. 6. Repairs will be done at your cost. I was charged $150 for caulking around the bathtub. Reasons why they said I didn't get my deposit back. 1. Paint fade. There were multiple spots of paint fade because of the severe mold that kept coming back. I told them about the mold issues and they advised me to use bleach to clean the mold. Little did I know that this would be one of the main reasons they would not give me my security deposit. They said if I had always had my heat on above 60 degrees this would of never happened. 2.They said I didn't clean the apartment good enough. They said they had to hire a professional cleaning person. SUMMARY AND ADVICE SECTION: I only lived here a little bit under 2 years. The neighbors are very nice and quiet and everyone keeps to themselves. The owner and landlady are very aggressive, especially after your lease is over and you don't agree to sign on for another year. It is the cheapest place in town and they always have vacancy. Its not worth living with severe mold issues and getting zero of your deposit back. It was very annoying after a long day at work or even a good day at work to come to a aggressive letter stating that "They Demand to inspect your apartment or vacate". I recommend you read all the reviews and you will find that there are all common complaints about 1. MOLD 2. AGGRESSIVE LANDLORD/OWNER 3.LOSING ALL OF YOUR DEPOSIT.
