Moved here 2.5 yrs ago and initially loved it. No problems. But with a great increase in animal feces everywhere (not being picked up by owners OR cleaned by maintenance) and an INSANE offer for a lease renewal (the lowest offer was an increase of 400 dollars a month and ranged to more than 1000 dollars a month depending on the length of the lease) I decided that I had to move. That was when all these fees and nonsense were presented to me. Almost $200 to clean the apartment, whether I scrubbed it top to bottom or not. And another $300-500 to paint it. Normal wear and tear was written in the lease, but it seems like these guys have NO idea what is normal wear and tear because I was being charged extra for just living there. I have moved A LOT for work and throughout my life and have NEVER experienced anything like this. There was no way for me to get the deposit back at all! Deposits are meant for damages not for cleaning services and normal between tenant care! The apartments are nice, but very chilly, and the staff is friendly and as helpful as they can be, but the corporation that runs them is ridiculous about nickel and diming every penny out of you. Do NOT expect any deposit to be returned Very upset about this "deposit" nonsense. More like an effing rip off of 750 bucks. If you cannot afford to maintain your apartments, you should not be renting them
