Never been so disappointed in a place that my husband and I really did enjoy living in for about a year. We never had any issues with our apartment or maintenance throughout that year, and as expected, maintenance pulled back the carpets to check for pet urine stains at our move out inspection. However, we were not expecting to see over 10 urine stains just on the underside of the downstairs carpet. Most in areas that had been covered by furniture from the day we moved in. Don't even get me started on the upstairs carpet. We do not have children and we never had a pet. Never even watched someones dog or small child. They checked their records, and it showed that the carpet had been pulled up and inspected before we moved in, and that there were no stains present at the time of the last tenant's move out. Basically their paper trail showed that we had put the stains on the carpet. My husband had deployed, I was alone, the rest of the apartment was impeccable, I was ready to get out of there, and honestly felt very taken advantage of by the property manager. The carpet was new before the previous tenant, and I was told that tenant "was only there 3 months and never had pets on file". I'm pretty sure they charged that guy 1100 to replace carpets that were only 3 months old, never replaced them so they could get another year's use out of them, and then charged us again at our move out. Or someone didn't bend over to pull up the carpet like they claimed they did before we moved in. On top of that I paid the money to have the carpets professionally cleaned, as I was instructed to do if I wasn't anticipating replacing the carpet. That carpet has since been thrown out. Unless they just banked our money, didn't replace the carpets, and plan to screw the next set of tenants. Again, it was a nice place to spend a year, but it is plagued by all of the same problems as any other apartment in the area (drafty windows and doors, bugs, etc.) you just don't realize it right away because of their "new designer lighting" and decent-looking appliances. You can find other decent places to live and get way more for your money.
