I have never had a worse rental experience than I did with Bayview. I moved out 2 months before my lease was up and I gave over a month notice that I was moving out and it is now over a month since I actually moved out and they still haven't rented the unit out so I'm stuck paying rent even though they should've had plenty of time to find a new tenant. They also charged me $50 for advertising costs but I have yet to see an advertisement for it anywhere. When I moved out I was STILL waiting on a work order to be completed. I followed up on a work order for a door to be fixed and my dishwasher to be replaced (which literally didn't work the whole 10 months I lived there) yet weeks later it still hadn't happened and on my final invoice I was charged $55 for ""move-out repairs"". I was an excellent tenant, always paid rent on time and was very quiet, but Bayview gave me a bad reference which ending up keeping me from getting another apartment until after I moved out. They told the screening company that they had served me legal notices and I had received written complaints when living at their property, neither of which was true. I went in to talk to them and get it cleared up but it took several phone calls after that before they resubmitted a corrected reference form which was accurate. I'm now having problems with a ridiculous amount of charges on my final invoice including a charge for $650 July rent when I have a bank statement showing the check I sent them in the amount of $650 cleared before July rent was due! I'nm not looking forward to the amount of effort it's going to take to straighten that out. The people who work in this office lack professional courtesy and communication. If you have a problem it will take forever to get resolved. They're terrible at returning calls etc. I would never rent through them again.
