Olympic Apartments

You can’t judge a landlord until you move out, I always say. I lived in a one bedroom apartment in Olympic Apartments for about a year. The folks who run it seemed friendly and easy to work with. That is, until I moved out.
I cleaned the place from top to bottom several times. It was as clean as when I moved in, which is why I was so dumbfounded when my security deposit was docked $ 150 for cleaning costs. Stranger still, they charged me $ 25 for leaving behind an iron and one cleaning product. They said they had to go to the trouble of disposing the items. I would understand if I left a couch behind, but an iron hardly seems worrying about. It shows Olympic Apartments is on the take.
I was left with just $ 5 after all the dubious and arbitrary costs. It’s suspicious that my security deposit was just enough to cover the infractions. The $ 5 check they sent back felt more like an insult.
I’ve read reviews from other tenants who have had similar experiences. It seems that the managers at Olympic Apartments have a tendency to rob their tenants when they leave. What they’re doing is borderline criminal.
Avoid this place at all costs – because it’ll definitely cost you if you don’t!

I moved into this building in July of 2013. My lease was up June 30, 2014. I gave my notice for my move out for August 11, 2014. I did my initial walk through with Brittney who was great the entire time I lived there. Brittney no longer worked there when I left, so I did my walk through with Peggy. Peggy seemed pleasant enough when I moved in, but once my lease was signed it was as though she had no interest in keeping her tenants happy. She was argumentative and scolding. My boyfriend had the window to his car busted out and she ‘lectured’ him about leaving items in his car. When I moved out she ‘lectured’ me about using water on the laminate floors, which I NEVER did (I know better). She also argued with me about whether or not my dogs had peed on the carpet in the bedroom (they were never allowed in there). I would NEVER rent from these property managers as they have no interest in keeping their tenants happy. UPDATE: I was also charged $ 640 for the ‘damage’ to the laminate. 5 planks at a cost of $ 128 each!

I moved into a large studio in Dec 2011 and have had nothing but a great experience. I have had my kitchen sink clog once and when i called they sent someone over right away to fix it. The wonderful maintenance guys keep the surrounding area clean and they were even out there shoveling the sidewalks during the last snow/​ice storm we had. No other apartment complex around me shoveled the sidewalks for the safety of there tenants and anyone walking the sidewalks for that matter. Apartment managers are extremely friendly and very helpful. They allow big dogs which is a huge plus!
