BEWARE WATERFORD APARTMENTS IN ATHENS, GA.

I rented a unit at Waterford for my son who attends UGA. Thankfully he was able to find a better apartment this year away from the homeless townies who frequently congregate in the parking lot area at night. I actually saw one inside a dumpster in the front parking lot; NOT a place you want to live!

To top this great experience off, we just received our rental depost minus several incorrect and dishonest deductions.

$10 for a missing receptical coverplate
$15 for a gasoline surcharge (to pay for the maintenance man's gas to change the $10 coverplate)
$15 for one hour of the maintenance man's labor to change the $10 coverplate
$50 for 2 keys that were turned in, but now cannot be found.

When I spoke with "Jennifer" the manager to review the charges she told me that the charges were final and exact; even though my son was not given the opportunity to review or sign her walk-through document.

She also couldn't produce a receipt for the new $50 keys or the $10 coverplate.

At the end of our call she refused to provide the name of any manager, or even her own last name for correspondence. Gee I wonder why?

At the end of the day $90 was a small price to pay to get my son out of UGA's WORST and most dishonest apartment complex- bar none.

I rented from spring '06 through spring '07.
