Overcharged for Move-out Damages
I had a disappointing experience with the move-out process at Winding Brook Apartments. Despite following all instructions during the move-out inspection, including filling nail holes as directed, we were still charged for various damages that seemed unreasonable.After deducting the damage deposit, we owe $2300 for damages and cleaning.
We were billed for glazing the bathtub, vanities, and countertops, even though we left them in good condition and were not informed that this would be an issue... during the inspection. Additionally, we were charged for painting after living in the apartment for four years, despite the fact that normal wear and tear should be expected and covered by the complex. We also were charged for new carpet despite the carpet not being new when we moved in.
I understand that some costs are necessary, but these charges seemed excessive and felt more like an attempt to take advantage of tenants upon move-out. I would recommend future tenants be cautious and document everything thoroughly during their move-out inspection.
