Midlake Apartments

Living here was fine. Appliances broke and whoever did the remodel did an awful job (our dryer almost caught on fire because they hooked up the vent incorrectly), plumbing was backwards, etc. But it's an apartment, and it's cheap. The real damage was done after move out- they charged me for an entire repaint (even though they used the lowest quality paint I've honestly ever seen) $500, a new doorknob (aren't the required to change the locks anyway?!), unit clean (I paid $300 to have the place... cleaned), carpet steam (also had this professionally done), and 20 days of rent AFTER my lease ended! They said I didn't return the key to the office (note- there is NO OFFICE) so I was being charged. I emailed them that we would have to get lawyers involved, since this is illegal, and they sent it to collections. Not sure what else I can do but pay (totaling around $1,300). BE WARY. Document everything, be super on top of your move out situation, and don't think lease ending and notice given will be enough to not get charged after move out. Read More
