GILLIN REALTY Will not give you your deposit back!!! Keene, Texas

When we got to the first apartment, the key they gave to us was the wrong key. We went back to Gillin told them, they apologized and moved us to another apartment and gave us another key. We went to this apartment and it looked like people were still in the process of moving out. Trash and bugs everywhere, the apartment was obviously not ready for move in. We went back for a third time to Gillin, were given yet another key and another apartment. This one had stained carpets, a rectangular cut in the kitchen floor, messed up drywall in the bathrooms, and the master bedroom door stuck and was cracked down the side of it. 

Sick of going back and forth, we just started moving in and wrote down all damages on out lease as requested from Gillin. We were there for a year and had so many bugs. They did send exterminators twice but this never did any good. In January of 2010 we got a letter from Gillin stating that we must be out by the 1st of February or we would have to sign another year long lease. 

Seeing as this is NOT something we wanted to do, we scrambled to find a new place and found one then moved out 2 weeks later. When we contacted Gillin to get our deposit back they said they were waiting on maintenance to let them know the pricing for the carpet (which was gross when we moved in) to get us a check cut. They said they'd call us back.

Since them we have called at least 20 times and every time we hear the same thing. We were told today actually to come get a check after two o'clock. We called at 3 and they said once again they were still waiting on maintenance and would call us back...yea right! 

Bottom line, DONT go through Gillin Realty to buy or rent a home, you will have to fight like hell to get your deposit back. We will not stop calling until we get the money that is rightfully ours!!!
