I have been renting at Creekside Village since 2014. Upon signing my lease, I paid a pet deposit and agreed to a monthly pet fee. At the end of my lease this year, after having given my notice to vacate, I asked for my apartment to be inspected so I could be approved for another unit. Danika, the current property manager, assured me that so long as my unit is in good condition that I would be transferred to a different unit.
Today, I allowed Danika, Nicole (whoever that is) and the maintenance man to walk through my unit. I made sure to clean it from top to bottom, and there are NO damages. I have pictures of how nice my unit is proving NO DAMAGES. Before leaving, I asked Danika if she saw any problems with my unit. She said, "To be honest with you, when I walked in, I could tell you had pets, but you did a great job cleaning." Okay. Yes, I have pets. Yes, I pay for them. Mind you, this lady is nine months pregnant, so of course her sense of smell is intensified. She informed me she would fill out a "rubric" and let me know my "score" by the end of the day and whether or not I was approved.
A few hours later, I received an email from Danika stating that even though there are no visible damages to the apartment, the only way I would be allowed to rent a new unit would be to pay $1,200 to replace the entire unit's carpeting and GET RID OF MY PETS. Get rid of my pets/family? Why? Because you can smell them? My unit is in near perfect condition. Of course you can smell a cat litterbox.
Needlless to say, I have informed Danika that my two sons, my husband and myself have no where to go due to credit issues, and she has so informed me that even so, I am not even permitted to continue to rent the unit I have paid $1,000 for each month for a year.
