I have to pay a $50 "redecorating fee" up front before I can move in. Anyone know what that is?

Update: The redecorating fee is not a redecorating fee at all. It's a $50 administrative fee.
The apartment complex was just purchased by new owners, so, they are fixing everything.
New washer/dryer area, new fitness center, new offices, new roofs. New everything. They said that fee is to go to that. They just never changed their application.

I repeat:
