| - Yeah, sorry but "Regent Square Rentals" is definitely not worth your time and money.
Especially if you have to stay here for a whole year. Be warned! I am not paying the price (literally) of not heeding everyone's warning.
First off, they charge exorbitant prices for apartments that probably shouldn't be rented out in the first place. I only chose Regent Square Rentals because I had limited time to find an apartment and this looked good on paper.
No safety deposit was definitely too good to be true. It's great that they don't have a safety deposit but what they fail to mention is that you actually get a giant list of things you have to do for the apartment before you leave and if you don't do it to their standards, they will charge you...and you can bet it's more than the price it takes to fix it. They also seem to not mention various other hidden payments. Be very careful!
Also, you can't use their basement. Which means you only have the storage in your apartment, how little that may be. So when you put anything in their basement, they are allowed to take it, throw it out, sell it, or god knows what. After they dispose or take whatever belongings you have in "their" basement, then they give you a notice to move all your things out of the basement. I would not have fussed if they told me beforehand to get rid of my personal belongings, but retroactively notifying me is NOT okay.
Their one saving grace is that their maintenance crew is great! They are kind and try and fix whatever problem you have.
