Now, the one good thing I can say about this apartment complex is parking. I was always able to find a parking space matter what the time of day.
When I moved out, I got my parents, and boyfriend to help me clean the apartment up to try and get as much security deposit back as possible. We wiped the walls down, we cleaned the bathroom tub and shower, we cleaned the floors underneath the fridge and behind the toilet. Even the patio and fireplace. I thought we did a really great job cleaning!
Well boy was I wrong. When I got my letter from Willow Ridge they said I OWED $200 something dollars. They charged me $300 for paint. I only hung one tv in my room on the wall and filled in the holes I made. Even if they painted just that one wall, no way did it cost that much. Again, I lived here for close to two years.. No way did I cause a $300 paint job to repaint my entire apartment.
They also charged me $100 for the two sets of blinds in my apartment. I did not break a blind, I did not bend a blind, and I dusted and cleaned them. So I'm not sure why they charged me for that. I also read somewhere online that in California it is illegal to charge for blinds unless broken... However, I'm not trying to legal an attorney to settle this ridiculousness.
Now I can understand if they just standard hire a cleaning company to clean the apartment. But some other things listed on my bill I just don't understand at all. It makes zero sense to charge me literally $800 to move out. Security deposit and additional $200.
What is funny is I recently met someone who also lived at Willow Ridge and had to pay an additional $300 when they moved out on top of their security deposit. So it must be something they are good at.
So long Willow Ridge, thanks for ripping me off.
DONT MOVE HERE UNLESS PARKING IS ALL YOU CARE ABOUT.
