Nickel and dimed
I stayed at Aviata for two years + two months. The apartment itself was fine; recently renovated, new appliances & flooring. Maintenance was fine and the staff was pretty nice. While I was there, management company changed, but overall here is what I experienced that might help someone else…
- don’t be fooled by the rent posted online; that’s the base rent and you can easily expect another $150 to be added each month including W/S/T. What they don’t tell you right off the bat is there are other... community fees added.
- when I first moved in, security drove around pretty consistently for awhile. When I left, that very rarely happened, but there were a lot of days with police presence on property.
- a strange man approached my apartment covered head to toe with a face mask. My peephole camera scared him off thank god. When I reported to the office, they had similar complaints. Another time, I was approached by a neighbor warning me of someone knocking on doors with a bloody hand. I’ve never experienced incidents like this in other apartments. Lack of feeling safe was a huge contributor to me not resigning my lease.
- I was incorrectly given a notice for having an unreported animal in addition to my dog. Luckily I cleared this up with the office, but this was inconvenient
- after you leave, be aware that they IMMEDIATELY give your final charges to a collection agency and you have 30days from turning in your keys to pay, not 30 days from when you’re aware of this.
- they automatically include refresh charges on your final statement; carpet cleaning & patching up drill holes and paint. So expect at least $250 coming out of your security deposit.
Overall, this apartment tries to get $$ from you where other apartments include these charges.
