Dartmouth Tower Apartments

why they are charging me to clean the floors and carpet. They said they used a black light and it showed stains. Yet they did not send me proof of this, they just charged me. They also charged for cleaning the apartment, yet I spent days cleaning the apartment and even sent them pictures proving it was clean. We even cleaned the ceiling fans (one of which we could not really use because it kept clicking even after they supposedly fixed it.) It didn't matter though they still took almost 400 for cleaning the apartment and the floors. I did get them to refund some more of the deposit though. They wanted to charge me $14 for a roll of painters tape. I know that it does not cost that much and they decided to give that one to me while keeping almost the rest of my deposit. They also tried to charge me for lightbulbs. The apartment had almost all incandescent bulbs so one of the first things I did was change them all to LED, but some rooms like the bathroom were too bright so I would unscrew the bulbs slightly so they didn't turn on. They tried to charge me for those unscrewed bulbs, its hard to believe that while they were changing those bulbs they didn't notice they were unscrewed. They also charged to paint the apartment, I was only in the apartment for 6 months and only hung 1 item on the wall that put 2 small holes. Yet they charged me for 4 hours of painting. They also charge you to pay for their employees to do their work. Oh, I almost forgot, they will also charge you a 10% fee for any expenses for "cost recovery". So not only do you have to pay for everything they choose, but they charge you an extra fee so they can profit off it also.

apartment prior to move in. And on moving out take more! But don’t expect to get your security deposit back. They will charge for every last detail just so they can get away with making the apartment “move in ready” for the next tenant without spending a dime of their own money. That apartment gets “fixed” for normal wear and tear and the price comes from you! Out of $1000+ deposit I received $244 in return. And all the fixes should have been fixed under normal wear and tear of this apartment, especially when I had lived there for 3 years! I was disappointed to read the final inspection list and find out what I was being charged for. And reaching out to challenge this with management/ owners will get you nowhere. Because they are okay with taking and spending your money.
