Undoubtedly not the highest, but still too much. Especially the fact there's a "check-in" and "check-out" fee on top of the already-high application fees.

Thank you for your review, at Ascend we pride ourselves on offering the highest level of service at all times so it is always disappointing to receive reviews such as this.

I have investigated the points raised regarding your previous tenancy and note that upon vacating the property the apartment required a full clean, not just cleaning to two rooms. We also note that the condition of the property on your move in inventory stated the pr ...
