The Courtyards Apartments

I actually only lived there for three months but faced multiple unjust charges, including over $250 for locksmith services in June and nearly $700 in move-out fees for what was clearly normal wear and tear. For example, the carpet in the bedroom was cleaner at move-out than at move-in due to my use of a dust collector, yet I was charged $426 for it! The maintenance team also refused my request for a locksmith to replace the lock but still charged me for the service. Additionally, my electricity... bills from June to July were inexplicably 2 to 3 times higher than usual, with no clear explanation provided.

I also experienced ongoing disturbances from my roommate and his girlfriend, who frequently visited and stayed overnight, causing many sleepless nights with their loud noise and yelling at midnight. Despite multiple complaints to the leasing office, the issue was never resolved, ultimately forcing me to relocate while still being responsible for my lease payments. On top of that, I had to spend three days cleaning up the mess left by my roommate in the kitchen and living room at the end of the lease term.

I strongly advise potential renters to be cautious, as my experience suggests poor management and unfair billing practices. Lee mas

Yes, the location is convenient and the apartments are generally pretty good. However, this place is a complete money grab because they know many North campus students want to live here. They charge $150 now if you get locked out. It’s not worth paying for at all, overpriced.

As a student at the University of Michigan, the location is so convenient, it’s located by the UM bus stops and the Ann Arbor Ride stops! The on call CAs and maintenance is a great plus as well!

I really enjoy the efforts that the staff put in place for community engagement. I love the events and competitive games they have hosted to show appreciation for their residents. In addition, I have received really great assistance from the CAs, especially Falon. She has always greeted me with kindness and has been very welcoming, ensuring that I feel heard and valued as a member of the Courtyards community!

apartments are very well run, office is very helpful, but be careful of deadlines—it’s easy to get screwed out of housing
