Avalon Will Find a Way to Charge You No Matter What
September 7, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Lived here as a single tenant with no pets and left the unit professionally cleaned. Despite that, I was charged an obnoxious amount for so-called "damage" that any reasonable person would consider normal wear and tear.
What is most frustrating is the pattern. Avalon offers their own cleaning services at move-out. If you opt out and arrange your own cleaning, they will still find a way to charge you. It does not matter what condition you leave the unit in. The charges will come regardless. It is ...
a system built to extract money from departing residents, not to fairly assess the condition of an apartment.
On top of that, I was hit with three months of utility bills dumped against my deposit at move-out, with no prior monthly invoicing. That is not how utility billing should work.
I have lived in apartments across the United States and never once experienced anything like this. If you are considering Avalon, go in with your eyes open. Document everything obsessively from day one, including your move-in condition, every cleaning receipt, and every communication. You will need it.
Deeply disappointed and will not be returning as a resident.
