Charging Excessive Move Out Fees
August 11, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
**RENTER BEWARE** The Management in Courthouse Plaza will take every opportunity to extract money from you by charging undo and excessive fees. I lived there 4 years and when I moved out the sent me a final bill for $1000 claiming the paint and carpet needed to be replaced, repainted. It was not that bad. Also, they never took into consideration standard depreciation of interior paint and flooring. After 3-4 years, interiors are often repainted and carpet replaced at the building's expense. This ...
is standard practice after a period of time to address normal wear and tear. Paint just fades, scuffs, small nail and screw holes are par for the course. Carpet has a life expectancy. They will look for any excuse to saddle the former tenant with the bill for upgrades that were due to be made anyway. DO NOT RENT or, at the very least, force them to add an addendum to the lease that you are NOT responsible for any repainting or carpet repainting within normal wear and tear that takes into consideration standard depreciation cycles. They've been absolutely terrible. All of the sudden they become coporately obtuse and passive aggressive. Just my 2 cents.
