I am currently trying to get out of lease here, which like just about every other aspect of living at the Village Square, is a nightmare. For perspective, I have now paid for rent here and at another location for two months both because it is almost intolerable to live here and because they are making no progress on their claim to be marketing my apartment (and thus freeing me from my lease). For starters, piles of bricks occupy precious parking spaces outside my building. Convenient parking is also compromised by trailers, boats, motorcycles, and vehicles that by and large never get moved. Pet waste litters the area. They falsely advertised having a pool, which was not constructed for the first six months (coincidentally the summer months) of my lease, and the "fitness center" has little more than an elliptical machine (for which an additional fee is required). They did not give me a key (they only had the master) for the first week of my lease, and my air conditioner did not work for the first two weeks of my lease (which in the middle of last summer essentially rendered the apartment uninhabitable with temperatures nearing 115 F indoors), neither of which prompted them to offer a discount on my lease. The lack of even modest insulation yielded exorbitant utility costs for heating and cooling year round. The plastic tile-substitute in the bathroom pealed up within days of moving in (perhaps due to the heat). My apartment did not have a lock on the sliding porch door, blinds for the window in the bedroom, a functional door knob on the bathroom door, or stove tops for the first month despite persistent requests to have these matters resolved. Shoddy construction is standard for all aspects of the apartment complex - palates of sod rotted for an entire summer in the parking lot and were not taken away until some time the following spring, the walls transmit every sound neighbors produce, the paved parking lot has already crumbled and buckled in places, rendering a trip to your car after even a modest rain without getting your feet wet nearly impossible, and the horrible landscaping very seriously looks worse than none at all. The employees of the Village Square exhibit no indication that they care at all about helping their tenets. They have been even more difficult in seeing me through the end of my lease, blurring the line between merely dragging their feet and actually lying about trying to rent my apartment to someone else so that I can get out of my lease. My car was scratched numerous times and actually hit once by another car (requiring extensive body work) though no responsibility was taken, which might be expected of apartment living except that I never had such problems in the four years I parked in a public garage in a big city. This was bar none the worst living experience of my life, and would never wish it upon any one.

sounds like to me you were just mad cause they wouldn't let you break your lease. My mother lives at Village Square and LOVES it
