They charged me $4800 at move-out because I had to break my lease due to a last minute move to California. They have absolutely absurd and out of the norm lease terms which they don't make completely clear when signing. They need a 2 month move-out notice and charge another 2 month's worth of rent as penalty (sublet charge) on early termination of the lease. With all the hidden charges and fees, it seems as if this community is taking unfair advantage of students at University City. On top of the exploitative lease terms and fines they are also pretty low on ethics. Before my move-out I connected them to a tenant who would take over my apartment on a sublease. She ended up not taking my sublease as she wanted to start her lease a month later. So she signed a new lease with them for a similar apartment. But they explicitly made sure she got a different apartment from mine so that they could charge me with 2 month's of rent as penalty (sublet charge). They did that despite the fact that I found them a new tenant. They have warned me that they will report me to a collection agency if I don't pay the balance which is more than $3000 on top of my security deposit. Chestnut hall/Aimco will do anything to extract money from your pockets. I wonder how far they can go with all this bad word they are earning. No wonder they have to hire jugglers on all street corners of Chestnut hall to spin "Now leasing" boards around their bodies.
