I have been an Avalon resident twice, Two years 2014 through 2016 and again from 2017 to 2019.
I have been relatively happy outside my truck being towed when it was legally parked; $1,000.00 and assorted minor maintenance issues. No AC, Dishwasher did not work, twice my apartment was flooded from the people above me. And that the month after I started renting this apartment the same unit in a different building was renting for $150 a month less. I still did not complain.
This time the
...management has torqued me.
Avalon is now charging a one time fee of $500.00 fee for Common Area/Amenities. This was implemented a few months ago. Thought my fault for not reading the details of the lease, I have been here three years prior and never had to worry about added fees. I feel that this is a completely unnecessary fee that should be included in my rent not added after the fact.
I was just told that had I brought up the fee prior to signing my lease the fee may have been waved.
That tells me two things.
One: It is unnecessary as it could have been waved.
Two: They rather take $500 now knowing they just lost a person that was happy, in spite of having a truck towed at the cost of $1,000.00 and lost wages. I have referred people to the complex in the past and will now go out of my way to say this is a cheap organization that is willing to rip off people than have them happy.
So I will report this every day to be sure this posting stays current.
