Resident 2002 - 2007

Polos went condo and is now called Venetian Palms. They told every single renter to get out by a set time. It didn't matter how long you had on your lease. BUT when the tired old places didn't sell (a shocker!) they lowered the rent and tried to sell the rented apartments to investors. Basically you the renter became not a person but a commodity. Following this I had squatters break in and occupy the apartment next door. That was fun. Then my unit sold and me with it. I was informed of the new owner and given two phone numbers to contact. Both of them were disconnected. I had to try for a week just to discover where I should send my rent. I was always told that the owner was "out of the country" and could not be reached. When i asked who would take care of maintenance I could not get a direct answer. Then the Bank came to my door looking for the owner. The mortgage, you see, was a home owner loan. Also it was not being paid. Well that was it for me. I broke the lease and moved out. Nobody noticed, never even got one phone call. That was until about 3 weeks ago when the bank called me to inform me they were going to foreclose on the unit. They told me I had three days to get out. At which point I smiled to myself and told them I had moved out months ago. I tracked the rent checks I had sent in following the sale and it turns out the property manager (not the office, a private Realtor) had been depositing the checks into his personal account (pocketing the money) and just not paying the loan. I would avoid this place as: 1. the units are worn out 2. maintenance is bad 3. You only really have a lease with Venetian Palms until they sell it to someone unknown to you. 4. The office no longer accepts responsibility for noise and other problem of the like. Instead they tell you to call the cops. 5. you can hear your neighbors go to the bathroom
