These people victimized us, too. I would love to find an attorney and all the other people that they are destroying with their fees and such. They say that we owe them money for cleaning and painting after we left, but the thing is, the apartment wasn't painted properly or cleaned right when we moved in. I cleaned it better when we moved out than we found it when we moved in. They also charged us for painting when they paint all the apartments anyway when anyone moves out. They are really sick people. I wonder about a person who can work for them. How can they sleep at night, knowing that they are personally responsible for destroying people? How in the world can they live with themselves when they know perfectly well that what they are doing is wrong, even evil? I refuse to pay them to clean an apartment that I cleaned. If they take me to court over it, I will be fighting, just so you know. I am going to pay an attorney if I have to eat beans and rice to be able to do it. I will be eating steak after I get finished with them. I would love to organize a class action law suit.

We left The Ventana Apartments but they are still victimizing us. We left The Ventana one month early, leaving them an empty clean paid for apartment in as good a condition as we could given the fact that they refused to fix things for us while we were there. They let water sit in places it shouldn't because of leaks that they chose to ignore, like under the sink, behind the toilet and along a bedrooom wall. That is not our fault at all since we notified them of all of these things happening and they refused to fix them. So, I used to clean at the Country Club for a living and anyone can ask them there if I was not the best housekeeper they ever had. And I cleaned that apartment.
I cleaned every single slat on the blinds, the windowsills, the shelving, the doors, the walls, the switchplates, the baseboards, the oven, the refrigerator, every single badly painted cabinet. Let's talk about the cabinets. They did such a bad job of painting before we moved in that the paint would peel off on our dishes. This happened because the just put layer after layer after layer of paint on the cabinets without sanding or prepping anything. Every single time I would take a pot out to cook in, I would have to rinse the paint out.
Oh, and they painted the top of the metal vent over the stove last time before we moved in instead of cleaning it. It was gross the whole time we were there. That was the shoddy workmanship we moved into. Oh, and the sink was broken. They broke it and never came back to fix it. And the AC never worked right the whole time we were there. So, I left the apartment as well as I could leave it, considering the fact that they refused to keep it in repair. I cleaned the heck out of that place. No one on the planet can clean better than I do. I washed the walls, which is an issue, too. Because they are charging me 160 dollars for a cleaning and 35 dollars to clean the fridge and 250 dollars to paint the apartment, now that we are gone.
So, I left them a clean apartment with paint that was as good as can be expected when the did a shoddy job painting before we moved in. So, they got a free month's rent plus some. I gave them 925 dollars toward the last month's rent which was only supposed to be 829 dollars base rent to begin with. And I wrote off the 350 dollar deposit and the 300 dollar pet rent. So, I lef these scumbags with 1550 just to get away from them, since I felt that my life was in danger there, no not from the neighbors but from the psychotic maintenance man. Just take it. That is all I wanted, to get away with my life and the life of my children. 1550 dollars was a small price to pay.
Now, what these criminals have done is add all sorts of ficticious bills to the end of the lease and say that we owe them money. They are liars. Only thing is, I have proof. I took pictures of the interior of the apartment before I gave them the keys over a month early. But they will bring it to court and ruin our credit record because that is the kind of scum they are. These are criminals. Do not sign a lease with these people. You will only regret it. They lie in court. They are scumbags. They do not do what is required of a landlord to be profitable: repair and maintain an apartment building. Instead they use attorneys and lies in court to make money on the backs of the lower middle class. And they don't even provide a service.
i find it interesting that they changed their web address. The new web site is even chocked full of more lies than the old one. It is not a luxury apartment building by any stretch of the imagination and it is not newly renovated. They slapped some paint on the outside, badly and they fixed up the one apartment that they show to people. They renovated the office for the office workers who only sit on their fat behinds and sue poor people instead of attending to the needs of the tenants. These are the most horrible people I have met in my entire life and I am pretty old and have met quite a few gross people along the way. The staff at the Ventana and their boss, Mr. Faith at Greystar take the cake of horrible excuses.
