San Marino Apartments

I leased an apartment here for 6 months and was willing to renew for additional 6 months and they tried to jack the rate up $300 per month over what they would be willing to lease to a new tenant. I was lead to believe that I could renew at the same rate (my mistake for not getting it in writing) so they ended up losing a tenant with an 800+ credit score that always paid rent timely.

They charge you for all their common area utility expenses above your regular rent and they shortchanged me on… my security deposit. You practically need a CPA to figure all of their charges.

I tell everyone I know not to rent from this landlord. I've worked in real estate for over 25 years and its landlords like this, that give the industry a bad name. Read More

I didn't have any problem staying for 4 years and 2 months. It is nice and decent apartment but while leaving I didn't have good experience.Before 2 months of leaving I went to office and said that I am leaving apartment after 2 months one of the office lady said that I will get the notice at home then you can come along with that notice but I never received that notice. Again I went after a month and said that I never received the notice and I have to leave in 1 months then they are telling me… that I had to give 2 months notice else I have to pay a contract breach amount. After a long discussion they waived the amount. Another I didn't like is after staying for 4 years and 2 months they deducted the carpet change amount and they were saying that it is prorated amount and they change the carpet in seven years only. If they have charged me the carpet change amount than they should have refund mine cleaning amount which I paid before leaving the apartment. Read More

It's always the little things that get overlooked so I've mentioned a few things that people easily overlook when looking for a new apartment.

Pros
- The community is nice and so is the staff.
- Close to shopping and transportation.
- Stone counter tops, high ceilings, nice trim.
- Rental Office Management (I've only talked with them a few times but they have always been nice)

Cons
- EXTRA FEES FEES FEES AND MORE FEES
- COST OF WATER/SEWER IS OUTRAGEOUS.
- MOVE OUT GOTCHA! Get ready to pay..… .
- HORRIBLE CELL RECEPTION
- OVERPRICED
- NO PARKING

If you're the type that just goes with the flow by getting overcharged, fee'd to death, and just overall taken advantage of then this is your place! If you have a problem with being taken advantage of and the basic principle of greed... then I would not recommend San Marino Apartments or any other run by WASATCH PREMIER COMMUNITIES as you'll just become bitter. I'll be moving once my lease is up.

There are many many new apartment places being built in the area and everywhere else in Salt Lake. It's becoming overbuilt so hopefully the prices start coming down soon too. Happy hunting!!! Read More

My wife and I have lived here for almost two years now. We've enjoyed living here and plan to stay a long time.

Pros: Maintenance/ upkeep on property and yard is excellent, very helpful and friendly staff, energy efficient keeping utilities low, smoke free, nice pool/ hot tub with free gas grills, 10' ceilings, granite countertops, huge bathroom, most of all we love how quite it is (we often sleep with our window open in cooler months)

Cons: Insufficient parking
