Just your classic greedy corporate landlords who refuse to repair anything. Look at the reviews for Plaza53 in North Bergen. Everyone is sick of it.

They also refuse to allow us to be present at the final inspection of our unit upon moving out, which is incredibly suspicious. Our tenant lawyer advised us that we should be present at all final walkthroughs when moving out of apartments, and the corporate office still refuses to allow it. No doubt so they can make up some excuse not to return our deposit, as alleged by other former tenants in the Google reviews for Plaza53.

Me and my wife lived in one of the recently remodeled apartments at Somerset Park. The apartment was nice enough for the price -- the granite counter tops in the kitchen were nice. The appliances in the kitchen seemed pretty cheap, but they were new. Washer/dryer were okay--they worked, but the dryer had a lot of lint in it when we moved in and had a lot when we moved out despite removing all we could between loads of laundry.
The apartment had more than enough room for the two of us, and Maria in the leasing office would quickly address any questions/issues we had.

We lived in Cedar lane apartments. This place deserves no stars. The buildings are poorly maintained and the hallways stink. Also, the laundry rooms are not clean at all. We chose this place because of its proximity to the Rutgers campus. Set the building quality issues aside, the staff in the management office are also very UNRELIABLE. In short, they are very GREEDY to take as much money as they can from you. DO NOT TRUST IN WHAT THEY SAY AND ASK FOR WRITTEN AGREEMENTS, especially when it comes to MONEY related stuff and receiving back your SECURITY DEPOSIT. We signed a lease termination notice 23 days before the last day of our lease and we were told that it will be fine. Then, they asked us to pay the last month's rent and we paid. Two months passed and we did not receive anything from them. We were back to campus for one day and we thought we should stop by to see what happened to our security deposit, they made several false claims and changed their word several times while we were there. First, they said they sent us a check. Then, they changed their words and they said a notice was sent to us that we broke the lease. Next, they provided a tracking number to show that they sent us the notice. After asking for the tracking number, they reluctantly provided a number. It turned out the number was invalid and had nothing to do with us. We persistently asked them to clarify the situation, then they issued a check for half of our security deposit and ask us to leave. Long story short, they took our security deposit money claiming that we broke the lease because we did not give them a 30-day notification; in practice, they rented our place to someone else and MADE MONEY TWICE AS MUCH... A funny fact is that they would have not given us any money if we did not happen to be there and have a chance to go to their office after two months!

This place deserves no stars. Looks nice on the outside and inside until you move in and then start to see the endless problems with the apartments. Ceilings leaking through when you get heavy rain, cracks on the ceilings throughout the apartments, nails pushing through the walls, and unfinished work. Management obviously only cares about the money only, nothing else. The maintenance super at Countryside Apartments doesn't like to repair anything in the apartments. The apartments are falling apart, yet every year they are raising the rent 35-45 dollars every year. There is constantly a rotation of people moving in and moving out. Neighbors that move in say this year, is moving out the following year. Save your money and move elsewhere. Definitely do your research before moving in. Totally not worth the headaches.

When you are moving out you do not get your security deposit back. Please reply to my post if this was your recent or past encounter .I would like to inform others of the scams with this rental company .They will at all cost hold all of your money.

Incredibly inefficient and unreasonable Property Management "Company". The entire staff is rude and difficult to deal with. I would NOT recommend leasing from them. There is a reason they have so many negative reviews on Google.

Had to break lease b/c of a death. Asked what procedures I needed to perform. I was given a list, including a copy of the death certificate. Handed in my key, but wanted all rent till end of lease. Now, no apt, no key, no security deposit. The way they spoke was unimaginably rude and heartless. ZERO STARS

After 3 years of being a resident of their apartments, I could NOT be more ecstatic to move out next month. While I didn't have any problems my first two years, the last one was really difficult, with them refusing to make basic repairs, and even making me jump through hoops for pest control. Finally fed up, I called Kristine at the main office, twice. She avoided my calls and never answered my voicemails. They're a very lazy management company, and will be hearing from the health department after I report the conditions of their complexes.
