I'm getting scammed too! Only mine is over the "Electricity Processing Fee." I signed a lease on Dec 7 because if I waited, the amount of the rent would go up. I did not move in until Dec 11, a Thursday, because that was my day off from work. I did not even step foot into the new apartment until the evening before I moved in. I had to keep the electric on at my old apartment because I had to thoroughly clean to try to get my security deposit back (I didn't get all of it back and the landlord, Jorge Regueiro, refuses to tell me why--illegal) and to do the inspection with the landlord and return the keys on Sunday, Dec 14. I work 10-hour days and the electric company is only available during the time I'm working. I transferred the electric online and had to take a start date of Dec 17. The new apartment is charging an Electricity Processing Fee because I didn't put the electric into my name at the first day of the lease. The bill covered 12/8 - 12/10, $50. I paid it because I was told by NWP that that was all I'd have to pay. Now this month, I got ANOTHER $50 Electricity Processing Fee for 12/11 - 12/16. That's totally unfair because it's just the way the billing fell (or maybe it is contrived), but the manager here will not budge on removing the second $50 charge. DO NOT RENT FROM MARINA LANDING APARTMENTS (GREYSTAR) IN ORLANDO, FL!

Another thing! What is the $5.00 SERVICE CHARGE on every bill? SCAM! I just moved into this apartment two months ago, but I'd leave if I could. As if the rent here isn't high enough, then they attach additional charges. I've never had to pay extra for valet trash pickup, plus the extra service charge. I hate this place!
