Left after 4 months, worth paying an early termination fee. My experience in quick summary:
• Moving out – Prepare for an outrageous bill. I lived there for a little over 4 months and I was charged a $621.83 move-out fee. I’ve called and emailed the property manager multiple times but they never answer. Here are the ridiculous charges:
- Cleaning fee ($234) – swept the floor, took out the trash, and didn’t leave any stains. Don’t understand how they came up with that number. I reached out but
...never got a reply.
- Touch up paint ($175) - I didn’t even hang any photos, maybe some scuffs during the move. I would think repainting is standard procedure after tenants move out.
- Replace water filter ($75) – Filter should be replaced every 6 months. My move-in date is 7/10/21, move out on 11/15/21, that’s just over 4 months. You do the math and tell me what am I missing here?
- Light bulbs ($10) – I lived there for 4 months and 2 light bulbs are already out shortly before I left, tell you something about the quality they provide.
- Fridge Shelf($75) - Don’t rearrange your fridge shelf, they will charge to put it back in place.
I returned the keys 3 days before and I asked the office to do a walkthrough with me, the lady rolled her eyes and said we don’t do that. I knew it was fishy but didn’t expect it to be that bad.
• Cockroaches – If you must live here, avoid units near a trash chute. Trash chutes are infested with cockroaches, ants, and other bugs. They will come into your apartment! Pest control spray will keep most of them out but big ones will sneak in occasionally.
• Sneaky fees – unit doesn’t come with a reserved parking spot unless you pay for it, but can only reserve one space per unit, regardless # of bedrooms. It’s a hassle if your unit has more than 1 car because you will never find parking in the evening. We have 2 bedrooms unit but they only give you 1 key fob, had to pay for additional key fobs. Don’t forget to add valet trash and pest control to your budget. One of the few luxury apartments that don’t include an in-unit washer/dryer.
• Excessive friendly reminder – they send out trash room guidelines, valet trash guidelines, and community etiquette reminders like every 5 days.
Overall, minus the bugs problem, I didn’t have much problem staying there in those 4 months. My move-out experience was not pleasant, I wish they were more transparency and I hope the same won’t happen to you if you decided to stay here.
