Kensington Apartments

Overall I enjoyed the period spent there.



The onsite manager is very responsive and effective in solving problems.



The walls are very thin. It is fundamental to have quiet neighbors to enjoy this place. I was lucky with this. I recommend to choose your unit wisely inquiring about noise.



At the end of lease there was an issue with my deposit solved after writing a complain.

Never rent from any place that is owned by Pike Properties. I just transferred out of a studio apartment and into a 1-bedroom and they tried to take out $709 from my $700 deposit. I was living in that studio for 2 years and here are some of the insane charges they wanted me to pay:



1. $390 to replace the carpet so I demanded the invoice and it only cost them $300 to do it. They actually had to balls to try and make money out of replacing the carpet.

2. $220 to repaint the entire place. And there wasn't much wrong with it...just your usual scuff marks from bed/couch and such.

3. $30 deodorize apartment. After fresh paint and new carpet...what is left to deodorize?

4. $22 late fee. I have never been late on anything. They just wanted to tack on another $22 and hope i didn't notice.



All of this was after I had to deal with neighbors that argued and beat their girlfriends all the time, a leak in my roof that took them 3 weeks to finally patch up, and fleas because the neighbor below me dumped her cat's litter box out her window. So I'm going to say this again...NEVER RENT FROM PIKE PROPERTIES
