Good deal for a handyman (but you might need earplugs)

The lake is beautiful and the location is good. The apartments aren't too bad, considering the price. After shopping around I found this to be a good value for the money....but....you'll have to be quite handy and know how to fix things yourself because it may be a long time before they do it! Even then, they do a lousy job of repairs, always taking the cheapest route. Don't be surprised if they use parts from unoccupied apartments (we got a USED toilet - how gross!). We've been living there for 5 years and have yet to get the place painted or the carpets cleaned (and it was NOT painted when we moved in either). Complaints land on unsympathetic ears. Our neighbors play loud music to all hours of the night and complaints don't do any good. I'll have to agree with another person's comment here - ever since Laura left, the place has gone downhill. They should have never let such a good office manager leave. :( The office staff has a high rate of turnover now - what does that tell you' And their 'heated pool' --- brrrr!!! (BTW, there's only one which is right by the office and is VERY small.) When I gave notice to move out, they dropped the rent by almost $100, which implies that they are getting desperate for renters. PLUS now I feel like I've been overpaying for years! But the rental price (especially NOW for me!) is competitive and if you're handy around the apartment, you just might find that you don't mind living with the inconveniences. And one more word of warning - DON'T EVER DARE TO BE LATE ON YOUR RENT! Not only is there a $50 late fee, but they'll hang an eviction notice on your door BEFORE your grace period is even up (which is 3 days, but you'll get a notice at day 2). It's quite embarassing when all your neighbors see the notice hanging on your door...
