Resident 2008 - 2009

7/23/2009

This apartment seemed wonderful when we moved in. The apartment's nice appearance and surroundings were a welcome change from Baltimore City. We definitely enjoyed everything in the beginning. Then the noise started. We lived on the 2nd floor, and you could hear every step that our upstairs neighbor took. He would walk constantly, like an OCD racehorse, sometimes pacing constantly or running until the middle of the night and into dawn. The walls are so thin that you could hear him shower, use the bathroom, watching TV, laughing, and pretty much any other activity which causes noise. Essentially, unless you can live on the 3rd floor, the noise is annoying and intrusive. In addition, the central heating unit did almost nothing. We cranked up the heat until it hit 80 degrees on the thermostat, but it was always freezing cold. Our heating bill was in the triple digits, but still it was cold. The dryer in the unit was definitely not efficient in any way. We always put jeans on the highest setting in the dryer, but it always took at least 3 cycles to get them completely dry, running our electriciy bills through the roof. The rudeness of some neighbors left something to be desired. There is an intercom system, and once a neighbor was locked out. She buzzed everyone in the building at random to be let in. When someone answered, she started screaming racial slurs and profanity when confused neighbors asked what was going on. Finally, the security deposit. We always removed our shoes on the carpet and lived in the apartment for only 1 year. Guests always commented on how clean we kept everything, especially how white the carpet was. When it came time to get the security deposit back, the apartment alleged that we had "ground-in dirt" in all rooms of the apartment, which was completely ridiculous - we would never live in a hovel, and especially not leave dirt trails for bare feet to tread on. At the end of the day, you will not be getting any of your security deposit back, regardless of how pristine a condition you leave your apartment in.
