I lived in a 1 BR apartment for 10 months. When I moved in I was told by the leasing agent to expect $45-75/month for utilities. But when winter came, it shot up like crazy...I was out of the country for two weeks, I turned my heat down to 60, and my utility bill for a 28-day cycle was $169. For less than 700 Square feet. (My current residence is twice as big and the utility bill has been cut by at least 60%.) Piedmont Electric blamed the Rock Creek, Rock Creek blamed PE and me. But I was assured that it should go down the next billing cycle...didn't happen, it went up. I had no recourse and had to pay. So I got out of there as fast as possible. <br><br>Also had mold problems inside and outside. Leaky A/C was a problem, carpets were constantly wet, and when I asked mgmt to either clean or replace the carpet (due to multiple leaks), nothing happened.
