Another comment mentions that a BMW had all four rims/tires stolen. It was my BMW, lemme start from the beginning:<br><br>We lived there for about 2 years total. The problems were many, and when I gave 30 day notice, as a form of therapy, I let it all out in my written notice to management.<br><br>Belle, part time manager, was great. Friendly and professional.<br><br>Cathy, full time manager, was difficult to deal with at worst but never rude. We were always respectful to her and her to us. The only interaction with her was when letting her know about a problem in the apartment. And there were many. To keep it easy, we'll list them.<br><br>1) Drug dealers. They would sell drugs and/or party loudly late at night. At first we just tried to ignore it. But after months of sleep deprivation and glancing out the window to see if our cars were ok (more on that later), we called the police. Then, for fun, we waited and watched from the window as they were arrested. This was during our last month there. Unsure if they posted bail and continue to live there.<br><br>2) Leaky skylight. Our skylight leaked every time it rained. Every time it rained the carpet would get soaked, and become darker and darker a yellowish/brown color. We called Cathy each time, and each time they either did nothing or went on the roof and did something that fixed nothing. The carpet finally got so discolored that they replaced it. Not the whole carpet mind you, they cut out a square around the stain and replaced just that section with a totally different color square of carpet. It gave an odd look to the center of our living room.<br><br>3) The garbage disposal didn't work often. Their advice was to pour ice down it. We would do this weekly, though it didn't work. Then they told us not to put food down the disposal and it should work fine. We didn't ask for clarification as too what the disposal was for, if not for food. With windrose you need to pick your battles.<br><br>4) The air conditioning/heater only blew hot air in the summer time and cold air in the winter time. It worked fine for this purpose. Please do not blow cold air in the summer or hot air in the winter: it will break the unit, that is (apparently) not what it was designed for.<br><br>5) The dishwasher did not clean the dishes. We found it best to wash the dishes by hand and then load them in the dishwasher; they would generally come out clean if done in this fashion.<br><br>6) Cathy takes great pride in mismatching cars to parking slot sizes. Our SUV was given a compact, and mini's are given the largest spots available. I questioned this, and she became frustrated with me and said that she was in charge of it all. As units, and their larger spots, became vacant I asked if we could switch to the larger vacant spot and the new tenant could take ours. Again, this frustrated Cathy, and we were told no.<br><br>7) And finally, our secured gated subterranean parking. The parking is neither secure, nor gated. There are two gates and they would break on alternating cycles so that always one was open. Some days both were open. The security cameras are dummies and look it. One is attached to the wall by dirty duct tape, and tangles down and to the right. It clearly is not connected to anything, there are no wires leading from it, and the fake lens has long since fallen out. My new BMW M3 was in this parking lot while I was away on business. I returned to find my M3 on bricks in the garage. The thief was able to comfortably jack up the car, remove the 4 wheels (unquestioned by fellow residents or management), and leave the car on bricks. The following week, we were served notice that our rent was going up. We decided to move.<br>
