Don’t Rent From Deer Park
Last week Deer Park finally closed out my account and sent me the statement of fees and things. I’m not at all surprised that they are doing everything they can to try to screw me over. They’re asking for almost $3,000 in “repairs”, well over half of it is for “Carpet Replacement”… oh, you mean the carpet that was supposed to be replaced shortly after we moved in, but never was? They claim that it must have been replaced because they have an invoice for it. Unfortunately for them, I took the day off of school to be there when the carpet replacement guys came (I don’t trust random workers wandering around my house). They left without replacing the carpet and never came back… so, invoice or no invoice, that carpet was never replaced.
I’m going through the motions of disputing the charges, but the moral of the story is this: do not, under any circumstances, rent from Deer Park Management in Bloomington, Indiana. Don’t rent from The Boulders, College Mall Apartments, Bart Villa, The Uptown Apartments, or Villa Genoa. (Hi, Google) I’m convinced that most of their profit comes from soaking people who move out and just assuming that people will just pay the fees. I’ve also heard that they’re in court more often than all of the other landlord in Bloomington combined… I wish I had known that before I signed my lease.

In other news, McAllister’s is open. Amanda and I went last night and it was good. They have sweet tea. I love sweet tea.
