If you want your security deposit, do not rent from Darden. Not only have they charged me for a broken oven handle (the oven was already old and worn down), but they charged me $50 for electricity for carpet cleaning (the carpets were stained when I moved in!!) after I paid a $170 ""Hassle-free cleaning fee"". They also showed the apartment numerous times without giving me any notice whatsoever. They rarely answer the phone at their office and when the mail key they provided failed to work, I had to drive across town to have them hand me another non-working key. I finally ended up waiting around for the mail carrier, and thankfully she got me the correct key. This company was a complete nightmare to work with; the staff was neither polite nor informative and it's obvious that they continually demonstrate little respect for their tenants.
