ReVive Apartments

for viewing an apartment). You end up being late on your first payment or overpaying/underpaying as you try to estimate what your first bill is going to be like. Get ready to be charged extra for that. Also, be ready to be charged a hefty sum for water, trash and sever -- one of the largest I've seen. You will be paying for your parking spot, they say you and your guests could park in the guest lot but it is so TINY and all of the post are always taken. Forget about getting your deposit back when moving out. Please be aware and expect to be charged extra, no matter what condition you leave your apartment in. My family has lived in many apartment complexes, and in comparison, Revive does NOT do their business transparently. We have always gotten 100% to 75% of deposit back, as we always take good care of property, leave it clean and with no damage. Revive Office staff is NEVER there, as mentioned earlier, so it is impossible to do a final walk through together. We had to turn in our key in their mail box DURING BUSINESS HOURS. We are lucky we didn't get charged extra for turning it in "late" ! or did we? I don't know as there was no invoice for charges. There were no letters, no details on charges and no actual charges in 2 months to follow. Finally, the letter from a collection company arrived stating we owe final $50 in addition to $600 deposit we paid in the beginning (including pet fees). Apartment was left clean, nothing was broken or missing, the only thing we could think of in terms of charges would be minor painting touch ups on spots with mold damage (there's LOTS of mold issues in this complex) and maybe some carpet cleaning. Such things never cost over $650 in any other apartment complexes! So we are just left with a bill, GUESSING what it could be for.

finally fixed 6 months later. Maintenance started taking longer and longer to respond to request at one point i waited nearly six weeks. At one point we had the mold test and it came back to be species that were known to cause upper respiratory infections and asthma. Management staff was rarely there. most afternoons they were gone never there on the weekends and calling to leave a message was not possible because the mailbox was always full. Emails seemed to be hit or miss, they have a good habit of leaving for vacation and not leaving a auto response to let you know they were gone. we did a walk through with the manager as was told everything looked good (could not verify the carpet because apparently they have a specific company that does that) but they charged a cleaning fee. there was not papers or anyone who said everyone was charged for that but apparently that is the case with the emails back and forth with the property manager. Forget guest parking. there are ten spots designated for this but the residents don't want to pay for it usually so the parking is filled up almost daily. I would not recommend anyone to move here
