| - Lived here for over a year now and still love the location! I literally take a 2 minite walk to LA Fitness, so many stores and restaurants around this nice and very safe area.
I would say the appartment is OK for the money, with granite countertops and high ceilings.
What frustrates me is the parking situation: a one bedroom apartment is given one parking spot in an underground garage. The problem is I live with my boyfriend and we both have cars. Untill about 6 months ago we had no problem parking one of the cars in a parking spot on the side of our building. And then they changed the rules( or started enforcing the rules) - Aderra residents are NOT ALLOWED to park anywhere inside the community except in the designated garage parking spot. We were told to take the second car to the overflow area outside the community gates ( so much for gated community) or park it by the LA fitness. And the rule is strictly enforced by the security guards -towing warnings are all over the violators' cars.
So who can park inside the complex? Visitors, of course. Oh, if they are not Aderra future renters or byuers, if they are just your friends, you better give them a parking permit to put on their car, or they can get in trouble as well.
The Update and rating change are in the light of my moving out experience from hell!
Everything appeared normal when one of the leasing agents looked at our vacated unit and stated that everything looked fine and we will be getting our full deposit back.
However the next day at the office I was told that was NOT the moving out inspection. ????? Surprise!
I was also told that upon closer inspection they found the oven dirty and will charge me $40 cleaning fee. And the best part: "carpet people" will be inspecting our carpet with black light as a part of inspection. U r kidding, right???? I have a substantial rental history and never heard of such thing!
Sure enough, the "carpet people " inspected the carpet while we were not there and found "pet urine stains". (My cat has cancer and she pukes sometimes)
With a huge grin on her face, the leasing agent told me the carpet will have to be replaced and the money will come out of our deposit. I pointed out the carpet is at least 7 years old( original).And the "good news" I was given was that I will only pay a portion of the carpet replacing cost. Yey!
Long story short, they kept a good chunk of my deposit. When we asked about the $250 pet deposit we paid when moving in we were told " That was a fee, you paid it, get over it!!!"
Also, sent me an e-mail with allowed moving out times. Apparently, nobody is allowed to move in or out of Aderra on Sunday or outside of business hours!!!! What!!!
And I better give them the exact move out day so that they can put protecting pads in the elevator. So I gave them 2 dates and the pads were not available on either of them because someone else was using them both days...WTF ... What are they smoking ?
If you are looking for a place that does not appreciate your business and has no respect for you and your hard earned money, PB Bell rentals at Aderra is the place!
