I was told when I called that it was only 1/2 month rent and no deposit for me to move in. But once the paperwork was all done, I was told I had to pay 250 deposit in cash. I called the owner of cotter key investments and he checked my story out' and the move was fired for stealing my money as well as others needless to say . I was told by Errma who is the lady in charge of all cotter key properties that I would get my deposit back. As I should. I was wrongly charged one . Anyways I put my 30 day notice in on Jan 27th 2014 and moved out on Feb 28th 2014 my apt was cleaned so well when I moved out because I didn't want anything to go wrong for them to try and keep 'm y deposit. Well guess what? Edema is saying I NEVER gave a 30 day notice which is a 100% lie. And she even said I. Was lying. Which blows me away. I'll take a lie Detector on that one. I did everything right so they could not keep my money and now I'm being ripped off for a second time by desert sands apartments .the management is also saying I turned my . Keys in on March 7th. Now why would I keep my keys for an extra week when I was doing . My hardest to do everything right to get my money back.. thank God I had witnesses to prove I turned my keys in on march 1st 2014 as well as proof I gave my 30 day notice to them on Jan 27th 2014. First I was told I was not gonna get my money back because I didn't vacuum my apt before I left. True story. Now it's my 30 day notice e and keys. This place is run by thieves and they will rip you off. And will lie to you and about you.also all cotter key properties have bed bug Infestations. But will lie and say they don't.
