I lived at the Estates At Stuart for 3 years, the rent was $925 but I accidentally paid $945 every month, they never corrected me. At one point I was on 'month to month' & they offered me $500 off the next month's rent to sign a lease, I told them I would do it if they gave me a 30day out clause. When they agreed I was highly suspicious seeing as I was already month to month. I even prodded to this extent, the answer was that it was to 'increase the #s on the charts' to 'inflate the # of leases' for upper management, so I agreed.
Upon trying to exercise my 30 day out clause they reversed the $500 credit. I had a $500 security deposit that was 'absorbed' due to this reversal. Seeing as I had been over paying the whole time, I still was supposed to have credit with them, about $200
In the end, I did not pay the last 2 weeks worth of rent, seeing as they owed me $700 as per my understanding of the written contract, now they are coming after me for $200, sending me letters from the lawyers and threatening collections. I told them I would be happy to pay if they show me where in the contract it said the $500 credit was reversible upon exercising the 30 day out clause. This is my experience renting at the Estates @ Stuart. They nickel & dime me after I move out, when I have shown them 3 faithful years of paying $945 a month, they are going to come after me for under $200.
