Resident 2007 - 2009

11/1/2009

We lived at Pickerington Ridge for about 2.5 years, and it was generally a pleasant place to live, as long as I didn't have to deal with the front or corporate office. The complex was fine but nothing special. There are a lot of families that live there. The pool is crowded with kids in the warmer months. I never had a problem with parking. The maintenance was responsive and friendly. The front office and the corporate offices were not particularly helpful or friendly in my experience. For example, we accidentally forgot to pay rent on the 1st one month, and came home from work on the 5th (or maybe the 6th) and found AN EVICTION NOTICE on our door. No one so much as called and gave us the courtesy of saying 'hey, where's your rent?' I know it's our responsibility, but we had always paid on time to that point, and you'd think they could get off of their chair to make sure there wasn't a simple mistake before threatening eviction. Another example: after we cleaned up and moved out, we received the remainder of our deposit back about two weeks later. We were charged about $130 for carpet replacement of a 5 year old carpet because of pet stains (in a one bedroom apt). First, the carpet was already worn when we moved in. Second, we paid pet rent of $20 a month for 2.5 years, which totals about $600. I called the office and was told to call the Schottenstein corporate office if I had questions. At the Schottenstein Corporate office, I was told by Pam (I think) that they would not remove or reduce the charge, that the pet rent was for the privilege of having a pet only, and that Schottenstein would go out of business if they didn't charge tenants like us for things like this (even though they schedule carpet replacements every 7 years per Pam or whatever her name was). What a bunch of BS. Bottom line, welcome to $chotten$tein Realty. Make no mistake, you are not a resident, you are an account.
