The worst apartment I've had the displeasure of renting from, which is saying something since I've also rented from Greystar. The actual apartment itself is perfectly adequate. Maybe a bit old and decrepit in certain places (place was built in the 1920's), but overall satisfying the ethos of function over form. Where things took a turn was during the moveout process. As other reviews have alleged, Laurel Crossing has a flagrant disregard for security deposit laws in the manner that they charge for damages. We spent multiple days to fully clean out our unit: vacuuming, swiffering, painting over cracks with their provided paint bucket, sweeping, etc. After that, Laurel Crossing took ~$600 out of our security deposit for "painting" and "cleaning." They provided no photo evidence, no itemized bills for the service, all violations of California law. We ended up filing in Small Claims court and won our full security deposit back, but that took a full year, 3 trips to the courthouse to file paperwork, and 1 court appearance to resolve. TL:DR Unless you want to fight Laurel Crossing in court to get your money back, don't sign a lease.
