Review for Hawthorne Apartments

I recently moved out of here after my lease expired. They wanted $400/month MORE for month to month, or $200/month MORE for another lease. A week after moving out, I called up and they were willing to rent the same unit for $200 LESS.

As well, refundable and NON refundable deposits were ridiculous. I have a very small dog and they wanted several hundred dollars extra for her - even though she she's completely outside trained and I did extra cleaning. When my co-worker and I moved out the place was in cleaner condition than when we moved in - they still charged us a couple of hundred for 'carpet cleaning and repainting'!! After they finally sent us our refund cheque, they had the balls to send an invoice for over $400 saying that they miscalculated and they wanted $ back from the refund.

Neighbours are noisy and the insulation in the walls is pretty thin. The tenant upstairs had kids that would stomp around all evening and the tenant down below would sit outside and drink with her friends and talk loudly on the phone. Parking is almost nonexistant in the evening. We paid for 2 stalls just so we'd have something. When we moved in, management said there was absolutely no problem with parking... liars! Management will try to stick you with as many charges as they can - non refundable deposits, cleaning charges, painting charges, damage charges, etc. They are WORSE than used car salesmen.

Had I read the reviews on this place, I would have avoided it like the plague....
