Review for Avalon Brandemoor Apartments

Do not rent from here. We have lived in alot of apartments, and this one was by far the worst. When we had fulfilled our year lease and gave our 20 day notice, the front office said we were required to pay for the entire month, and could not leave after 20 days. They were clearly trying to have their contract override Washington state law. Do not let them tell you that you cannot leave after you have fulfilled your term of the lease. You have the right to leave with 20 days notice as long as you have fulfilled your lease.

The parking was horrible. There was never any place for your guests to park. Our car was broken into, and the front office did not care that four people's car had been vandalized. Security has no problem getting the cars towed away, but when it comes to protecting the complex and your car, they are nowhere to be seen.

The people at the front office were rude and could are less about your stay there. They are real sweet until after you sign the lease. The professionalism was entirely lacking. It was more like walking into a therapy group for midlife crisis women. Always some drama.

You are definitely not getting the best value here either. The rent has gone up 200.00 bucks in the course of a year, and it will keep going up as long as stupid people continue to rent there. It may look nice on the model, but trust me; your apartment will look nothing like the one they show you.

Have I mentioned the move out process? Do not plan on getting a dime back from your deposit. When we left, the maintenance found an old pee stain from a dog that had lived there before us! Talk about gross! We did not even have a dog! They did not even bother to clean the carpets before we moved in, and then tired to blame it on us... here is the breakdown of how they will charge you, 75.00 for new paint, 125-175 for cleaning, and then an extra 75.00 for carpet cleaning. If the deposit is only 250.00, you are already going to be paying an extra 25.00 even if the apartment is immaculate.

Take my advice; do not let this place take your money. There are a lot of really nice apartment homes on 164th that are cheaper. We know this sounds really hateful, but we are just trying to save others from making the same mistake we did.
