Let's see, nearly every building has a dog on at least one floor that will bark all day until it is horse. The worst part is not the noise but hearing a dog in distress every day. Once once person has moved out with a dog like this, inevitably a few weeks later another dog appears. The apartments look nice however, when you want to run your AC be prepared for the bill. We went from about $85 a month in the winter to $350 a month in the summer. We had to stop being comfortable in the hottest months to avoid paying bills in the high $400s and that's keeping the AC at 78 degrees. Finally, my wife slipped and fell in the bathroom trying to shut the water off to the toilet because the backside of the toilet just fell out. I found her unconscious in about an 1/8 of water between the toilet and the bathtub. We asked if they could pay for her hospital bill because it was a defect with their toilet. They were very rude about it, never inquired if she was ok and said that they were not liable because we had not previously informed them of any damage to the toilet. To our knowledge, only their maintenance people could have known about the damage as it is between the wall and the toilet. Don't expect to go Month-to-Month at the end of your lease either, they will jack up the rent by $500 a month or force you to sign another lease. I didn't even know that was legal, I guess I'm used to rent control communities where it can't go up more than 3%. Needles to say, they don't care a bit about you, all the appliances are as cheap as they can be (non energy efficient/all electric as well) and don't expect the carpet to stay clean for very long. Good luck but we will never rent from the Irvine Company again.
