Do not rent here!
April 4, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
This place is ridiculous. I was a
freshman college student at UCSB. After 2 quarters I have decided to move back home. I have 2 months and 6 days left in my lease. The total owed in rent is $7,211.68. I told the manager that | understood I'm responsible for the remainder of the rent but I can vacate early so they can lease it to someone else. There are a lot of transfer students looking for rentals right now and Open House at USCB is next weekend so they might have students looking. However, if I ...
turn in my keys early, I have to give a cashiers check for $11,226.27 before I can vacate. They want $4,000 MORE to turn in the keys early (rent and lease break fee) when I was going to give them the $7,211.68 for total future rent.
How does that make sense. They can get the full rent from me on the entire
12-month lease AND possibly rent it out sooner (get double rent for a few months) but instead they want to charge me $4,000 more than the rent owed???!!! Now I have to let the apartment sit empty for 2 months, pay the rent I owe (which I already planned), and drive back to Goleta in 2 months to hand in the keys just so they don't charge me $4,000 to hand them the keys early. That makes no sense! It's a waste of my time and the apartment complex might lose out on finding a student looking for a lease now.
Also, there were additional problems:
(1) I ate at UCSB on a meal plan. I'm a college student. I kept no food in the apartment - except for drinks in the refrigerator and there were always ants.
(2) 1 had a depressed neighbor who would repeatedly scream and wail that she wanted to die at all hours of the day and night. I complained and management said they couldn't do anything.
(3) | put in a work request when I moved in because the ceiling fan light wasn't working. In 9 months, they never came to fix it.
I will be leaving the apartment super clean (it was dirty when I got it) when I drive all the way back to Goleta in 2 months to turn in the keys. I will leave an update if they try to gouge me with my security deposit after July 6th!
