Disgusting slumlords who're out to make a buck off anyone they can.\r
\r
They took over $200 out of my security deposit to ""sanitize"" a 1 bedroom apartment that I had scrubbed from top to bottom before I moved out. Sanitize my foot, they obviously have a racket with their chosen company. When I moved in, the apartment was absolutely filthy. I had to call and complain before they sent a janitorial crew over.\r
\r
They also charged me $40 for damage made by the previous tenant that I had forgotten to note on my move-in sheet. In my move-out inspection with the crooked, rude, and entirely unhelpful manager Tony Flatos (who is the most unhelpful person on the planet. He deserves his own entry into the book of jerks but this review isn't about him) I explicitly went over with him that I never mounted curtains over the windows and yet I was charged $25 to ""patch holes over blinds"". A little jar of spackle does not cost $25, guys. Also, I was charged $18 for ""holes in NE ceiling"". I can only guess this was the ~5 foot crack in the ceiling that was there when I moved in two years prior. I never mounted anything on the ceiling, nor did I ever make any holes, so I have no idea what this charge is for.\r
\r
And the worst part? They took $400 out of my deposit in ""unpaid rent"" for 15 days I wasn't even living at the property. I'm fighting this one as we speak, but I am simply so appalled by this that I was speechless when I received the letter.\r

Bottom line: rent somewhere else. If you must rent with them, make sure you do the following: document *every single detail* on your move-in sheet or you will get charged for it. Use your own janitorial and carpet sanitizing company when you move out since you can shop around for a good deal and not get ripped off for $200+ by these weasels. Pay into a trustworthy escrow company so the money only gets released when you as a tenant are satisfied. Oh, and don't rent from them.
