We came to State College to see apartments for my son. We had an appointment, arrived at the office 20 minutes ahead of schedule but no one was there. No one answered the phone, they did not call us to say they were not coming. They were to show us 2 properties however now we have fewer choices to consider. They seemed like any other business on the phone but a no-show when you traveled 3 hours to see them is beyond incompetent.

I had several problems in just the one year I rented through the apartment store.
1) When we moved in the carpets were already filthy. If you walked around for five minutes barefoot the bottoms of your feet turned completely black. (The people next to us said they found throw up in their room). We put in a complaint and after a few days they eventually paid for our carpets to be cleaned. This is confusing though because in our rent cost they had a few hundred dollar charge for carpet cleaning they claim every apartment gets. Clearly our carpets were not cleaned, so this leads me to believe they

Do not use the rental company! They will take most or all of your security deposit even though you leave the place cleaner and in better shape than it was at the start. Furthermore they will end the lease prior to the last day of Penn State classes, and charge at least $150 per day to stay an extra day. This organization is poorly run with questionable ethics.

OK so far everybody seems nice and I came in to post a good review but my kid has not gotten there yet so we'll see. Reading this it makes me really concerned for my child's experience. I'm the parent I'm paying rent and they're probably going to be less likely to tangle with me than a kid but if anything goes down I will be fine going to small claims court and sort it all out.
Any kids reading this, make sure you videotape everything with your phones before you put your own stuff in there & write a punch list of what's wrong and then email it to your representative

My wallet was stolen from my bedroom when their contractors were let into my apartment to install a sprinkler system. They did nothing and I had to get all new id's and debit/credit cards. Never again.
Also, when we moved in, there was a massive stain in the middle of the living room floor and the place smelled awful. We told them and they didn't do anything about it. We then lost our security deposit when moving out because of the stain.

Used to rug doctor the carpet every other week, have maids come clean every week and generally kept the place very clean. Not only did not get security deposit back on move out, but was charged an extra ~600 on top of that. Multiplied by total roommates this amounts to ~6000 in "damages" and "cleaning" costs. Multiple calls to their office yielded in one hold indefinitely, one hangup, and one run around call back later. Then this was reported to credit agencies for both resident as well as cosigning(don't get a choice in this) parents. Avoid this place like the
