Move-in deposits and fees draw criticism

Some reviews question the transparency and fairness of deposits and move-out charges.

A couple of reviews describe dissatisfaction with the move-in and end-of-lease process, including concerns about deposit handling and additional charges. One reviewer says a deposit felt nonrefundable and called it predatory, while another describes multiple fees at move-out that they felt were not well justified. These comments contrast with the many reviews that are satisfied with the overall experience.
