As long as we were a resident, everything was fine. That changed for us the day we gave our 60 day notice that we were moving. The property manager was rude. She didn't want our handwritten notice, even though that is what was requested in the lease agreement. She wanted us to notify them on the website, but, she would "make a note of it" on our account. She begrudgingly made a copy of our handwritten notice "since you've brought it in"and gave us move out checklist/instructions. She reminded us to notify them online of our plan to vacate, which we did after leaving her office. We received several emails with the move out checklist/instructions. Okay, they wanted to be sure we knew what needed to be done, but a half-dozen emails each is excessive. The only email I received that reduced some of the stress of moving was the one that stated The Flats would contact AEP & Columbia Gas to let them know to return service back to them on our move out date. Imagine my surprise when I received bills from both companies asking for payments for the time period after services were supposed to be back in the name of The Flats. My surprise after receiving the bills turned to anger when both AEP & Columbia Gas informed us they were NEVER contacted by The Flats to change back the service name. The only reason each company knew about a change was when the new tenant contacted them to set up service.
The only time we heard "We're sorry to see you leave" and "Good luck in the future" was when we received our greatly diminished security deposit.
If I was to move back to Delaware, The Flats would be the LAST place I would move to. read more
