Fairwood Apartments

I lived in these apartments for two years, but I cannot recommend them now that they have new management.

While the old management was excellent, the new management upped the price of our rent by $120 per month with only a month's notice. Worse, upon move-out, we were charged hundreds of dollars in repair fees for damages that were incurred to the apartment before we moved in, and significantly over-charged for repairs that were needed. Our previous lease had indicated that door repairs were typically $45-$75, we were charged $135. They even had the nerve to charge us for damages that didn't even exist when we moved out, claiming that things "broke" while they were cleaning.

After numerous meetings with management about these issues we were were finally given "receipts" for the repairs, however the receipt for the aforementioned door was actually just a print-out of a product web page from a supplier. Since the door in question was to a supply unit on the apartment's balcony, visible from the walking trail below, I was able to verify that the door they replaced was different to the door they claimed to have purchased, and was in fact a cheaper door. Unfortunately, this was after having paid their repair costs.

Due to the deceptive and predatory practices of Fairwood's new management, I cannot recommend renting there. Stay away at all costs.
