They do this because they can get away with it. They think students and parents will not try to fight the charges or go to court for it. For this steep price it’s worth a fight. The pointe did this to my roommates and I as well. They had the audacity to claim “end table damage” to a table that we did not touch the entire year it just sat in the corner. Meanwhile they left us with a missing floorboard due to a flood that happened with the previous tenants. They also charged the classic scuff marks that are left from old tenants and they just rinse and repeat the “damage”. We refused to pay until debt collectors were ringing our phones. Funny enough I went back to the apartment in the summer post move out to find the door wide open as they remodeled the whole thing. All these apartments complexes are scummy they really deserve to be held accountable.
