Verve

Verve, please do post your extensive checklist that outlines what free labor you expect from your tenants in exchange for their deposit. Why should someone who derives zero benefit from leaving an apartment that isn't theirs spotless have to spend so much of their own time and resources doing so? Security deposits have become a means of exploiting tenants, and that's not OK.nnI’ve lived at Verve for two years in two different apartments and it occurred to me that I wasn’t just paying to occupy a space in their building (which is in a nice location with nice amenities). I was also paying to have my apartment cleaned to entirely remove traces of my presence from it so that it could be rented to the next tenant.nnWhat if you checked into a hotel room and they asked for your credit card to keep on file not just in case of damage or extra charges, but also in case you didn’t clean the room meticulously before you left. Missed a spot? $50. Missed two spots? $75. Three spots for the price of four! You might be tempted to go out and get all the cleaning supplies you could wrangle and spend a few hours of your time on it - labor they would otherwise pay an employee to do.nnI got all the cleaning supplies and spent a day cleaning my first apartment after I moved out in the hopes of getting most or all of my $500 deposit back. I missed a couple spots and lost $160. They sort of just hold your deposit for ransom so you clean their apartment for them (to sell to someone else) after having paid them to live in it.

Perfect location because it is so close to tons of restaurants, bars, and attractions. The apartment and amenities in the building are fantastic and always clean. The staff and maintenance team are always very helpful and quick. Great place to live. Definitely recommend.

I've really enjoyed living at Verve! The amenities are very nice and I love how close I am to so many things to do. The staff is friendly and matenance request are dealt with promptly.

Very professional community. Close to Downtown attractions and restaurants. Waking distance to everything in East Village. Decor including light fixtures, cabinets, ascent walls, are upscale & hip looking, amenities are awesome, and apartments are well constructed. Very quiet place and the views are beautiful.

I love living at Verve! The staff is always very friendly and willing to help with anything. Maintenance requests are dealt with quickly and the amenities are top notch! Also, they do great weekly events where we get to eat free food and mingle with neighbors! What's not to love?!
