I was a resident at the Fillmore Center for 5 years. Despite leaving the apartment in perfect condition when I moved out, they violated the lease agreement and have not returned my security deposit within the 21 days guaranteed by the lease and under state law. It has been more than 7 weeks now, and I was told by the general manager that they knew of the 21 day limit but didn't bother to adhere to it because their payment system was down and they didn't feel like manually processing my check. Despite their clearly illegal behavior, both their accountant and general manager repeatedly dodged my calls, emails, voicemails, and even in-person visits to their offices (where I was treated rudely by front desk staff) for more than 4 weeks, and now I am forced to sue in order to get my money back. I would not recommend this place. I was honestly shocked at their blatant disregard of the lease terms and the law, as well as their poor treatment of a long term resident.
