Alta Mira Apartments
Horrible community that is breaking the state regulations and laws of Florida.
We are still in shock when we received after more then 1 month $480 check instead of our $1.500 security deposit, when we moved out of the Alta Mira
Apartments. It is 1st time after more then dozen rentals that we didn't received our security deposit back in full. Unfortunately we checked too late the negative reviews regarding Alta Mira Apartments.
We repeatedly asked the Alta Mira employees to do a walk through before we move out, but they told us that your company has own way to do it. Now we understand why.
We always leave the apartment in mint condition and clean the carpet. In this case we take a pictures of the apartment, so we have a proof that the apartment was left in the same condition as we rented.
This is exactly the reason why all the communities should do the walk through with the tenant the day of the moving out. It is no excuse for not doing it.
Negatives:
1.Very difficult to find anybody in the office during working hours.
Breaking the law:
1. We never received a lease agreement.
2. We didn't receive a written notice by certified mail within the 30-day period in case of the intention to impose any claim on our deposit nor we received our full security deposit as required by s. 83.49(3), Florida Statutes.
3. We didn't receive a written notice within 30 days after receipt of advance rent or a security deposit, which should include disclosure of the advance rent or security deposit as required by s. 83.49(3), Florida Statutes.
We don't recommend anybody to move to this community.
Think twice before you are ripped off your security deposit.
Going to post negative reviews regarding management of this community anywhere.
Going to file complaint with the Regulation Department of State of Florida.
Going to file a lawsuit.
Hope to help to make the real estate industry better to point on those who are harmful to the real estate community.
