Parkland View Apartments in Breinigsville, PA Review – The Move-out Process

My 13-month lease at the Parkland View apartment complex in Breinigsville, PA was up at the end of September. Having lived at several different apartment complexes in the past, I was expecting a move-out packet to appear on my day sometime within my last 2 weeks of living there. One never did.

Frankly, I was too busy getting ready to move to even worry about it though. Basically, the move-out process was non-existent. No walk through, no moving out checklist – nothing.

On the last day of the month, we went up to the office to turn in our keys. And, surprise, surprise, our little notice that we were moving out (which we had filed back in August) was nowhere to be found. It was like the girl in the office had no freaking idea that we were moving out. I’d like to say I was surprised, but I wasn’t.

Of course, I know fully well that someone in the office DID know were we moving out. I know this because we did not get a rent statement in the mail to pay for October.

Now all there is to worry about is the deposit getting returned – and how much we’ll actually get back. Pennsylvania law states that they have 30 days to return the deposit, but I suspect I’ll have to contact them for that too.

Having left Parkland View apartments, I can point out the good points of the complex for anyone wanting to look past the bad parts.

• The appliances are all new, which is nice.
• The refrigerator is a nice large one, not typical of most apartments
• Tile floors in the kitchen and bathrooms
• Digital thermostat
• Nice workout room with nice, new equipment

Update: I did contact them about my deposit refund and rec’d it a few days later. I got the full amount back, which was a surprise. I also got a rent bill for the month…even though I moved out. Go figure.
