My apartment was bought by North Steppe halfway through the lease so my old landlord's terms of lease still stood. But when I found out North Steppe was charging 2 times what my old landlord did I was shocked! For a miniature 2 bedroom apartment with a bathroom that seriously wouldn't fit anyone over 150 lbs at a time, they wanted over $600 per month. There was structural damage, no air conditioning, and plaster falling from the leaky ceiling. They charge you for any maintenance to the apartment when it's obviously something wrong with the building itself and not your fault. To make things worse, they force you to have your carpets professionally cleaned at the end of the lease (which is their responsibility, not the tenants) and if you fail to provide an invoice they charge you $100 automatically to have them cleaned. All of these charges to poor college students. Even by campus standards, they are a total rip-off, probably thw worst on the OSU campus.
Cons: the staff is rude, the costs are sky high, not worth what you pay
