STAY AWAY!!! My roommate and I rented from ES for two years. We are both professional students in Pharmacy school and never once had a party or any gathering of more than 3 people in those two years. We didn't have too many problems during our tenancy. HOWEVER, we were blown away when we got a letter after we moved out saying that not only were we not getting any of our security deposit back, but that we also owed an additional $600 for damages. We spent an entire day cleaning the apartment before leaving and the claims made were absurd. Claims of severe smoke/fire damage, when neither my roommate or I smoked/used candles/etc.. When we tried to dispute these claims in a productive and professional manner we were treated with disrespect saying that we showed "blatant disregard" for the property which was absolutely not true. ES management takes advantage of naive college students who don't know any better and I'm sorry to say that I was one of them. Unfortunately, paying the final balance is less costly and less of a hassle than taking them to court would be, but they deserve to be shut down for how they treat their past tenants.
