DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not joking. You will absolutely regret it. I moved out on May 17th the landlord said that we would be receiving our deposit back within a month. She didn't come do a walk-through with us when we turned in our keys but she assured us that everything would be just fine. So guess what I get in the mail today? A current balance of $707.57 that I owe to them. They said the following things: My drip pans needed replaced, turnover cleaning, carpet replacement, turnover blinds cleaning and utility bills that were unpaid.
In the notes they make me sound like some pig who didn't clean anything when in fact I was literally on my hands and knees for the carpets and the vinyl scrubbing! I asked the landlord about the scratches on the counter, she said that they weren't a big deal and it would be fine. They say that they had to replace the entire carpet because it was: "Filthy, dog hair everywhere etc", which is impossible because I literally vacuumed it twice before taking the rug doctor to it which is one of the best steam cleaners on the market!
I asked the landlord about the holes in the walls, if those would count against us/if we should cover them up, she said no and guess what we're being charged for??? They're also charging us for holes that existed WHEN WE CAME IN. They said my freezer was dirty but that's impossible, I cleaned it thoroughly. They said the outside is dirty when I swept the entire patio the day I left on the 17th! They said that the cabinets were "very dirty" and "left over crumbs" but I remember specifically cleaning them out myself because my husband and roommate forgot to. They said my kitchen sink was rusty which is NOT true!
They're charging me for there being dirt in the slider tracks apparently, which is funny because I took a bleach solution to those. They said that the inside of the toilet was very dirty, that the seat was discolored, hilarious, because it wasn't that way when I left!! They wrote down that my mirror has smudges. They said there was stains on the counter and hair but again, NOT WHEN I LEFT. They said my tracks for the closet doors were dirty but I personally vacuumed the tracks so again, IMPOSSIBLE!
I feel absolutely disgusted that I EVER rented from these money mongers. I really thought the landlord at Valley River Court Apartments was a stand up person but she has literally charged me for the very things she said were "no problem". This place is a complete money pit! They use cheap crap (the counters are literally painted counters. They're not even real counter tops!!!) and then charge you double the price of what it is to buy them/fix them. Seriously, if you don't want to OWE a balance when you move out and if you don't want to get promised one thing and then discover another, then do yourself the greatest favor and stay FAR AWAY from Valley River Court Apartments and Creekside Village. NOT WORTH IT!
