Got to love it. Just received my ""supposed"" bill following relocating ""from"" Heather Glen Apartments in McMinnville to where I am now.
By the way, ""much, much happier where I am now. Exceedingly less intrusive, healthier landlords.
OK, back to the ""In/Out Inspection & final accounting!""
Charged for a broken ""stove"" which was to be replaced but wasn't (which means, if you move into my apartment, you got an old broken-down stove).
Good luck baking or cooking an appetizing pancake!!!
Charged because the walls needed painting, though they weren't freshly painted when ""I moved"" in seven (7) years ago--and Heather Glen refused to ""paint them"" while I lived there and told me ""I would be evicted"" if I painted them ""myself.""
Paid a pet deposit (over $200.00O, though ""not accounted for"" on the ""final accounting),"" and charged $135.44 for cleaning--though I had my carpet cleaned ""every six months"" and the lifespan of the carpet, by government (US Federal standards/regulations) is 2 years past its prime,
...which means, if you move into my apartment, you getting an already aged apartment regulation rug and it does have cat urine on it. The carpet should have been replaced prior to your move in, but now you'll be charged with ""damages"" when you move out because it will be really old and ragged by the time you leave HG.
Charged a cleaning fee for the blinds (living room and dining) which are long past their life span also regulated by the US Fed Gov't,
...which means, like me, when I moved in, they will likely ""break"" within the 1st 2 months of your residence and you will be told ""you have to buy them yourself if you want them replaced).
Also, the hanging Venetians in living room have several dents and creases in them,
...which means, when you move out, you'll likely be charged for replacement.
As well, I was ""written up"" for writing with dry eraser marker, easily erased, ""Catch a falling star... 'never let it fade away."" Whop! Big one!
(I'm sentimental, maybe a bit superstitious, 'but I could not erase those words for the life of me, 'they were the words of the first song I heard after my mother died when ""I was 4."")
(Besides, a single sheet of toilet paper (4"" x 4"" would have wiped the words away--what is this, Dixie, 'you prick!)
Regardless, the mirror, because HG is trying to attract tenants was likely trashed and a real medicine cabinet put in. What a joke!!!!
And, lastly, charged for repair of... 'when ""Jim"" was still alive--that's over 3 years ago now, I wrote up an order for bathroom floor repair. He came up, viewed it and said, ""Humph!"" and never did anything about the widening ""unsealed gap"" between the tile and the tub,
...which means, if you move into my former apartment you've already got ""floor rot"" and will be ""charged"" when you move out.
Talk about ""unsanitary! You're getting my cooties.""
""Sorry, it's not my fault. HG is a slum lord. Get used to it.""
However, if you move into my former apartment you'll already have some fixture improvements, like additional closet utensils, like a key holder, a pole to hang clothes on above the washer & dryer and beautiful (expensive) plant hangers on the porch, unless, of course, Dixie removed them and ""stole them.""
