Very bad management-Undertaking major repair work.

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 11/17/2008
Years at this apartment: 2008 - 2008
 
They started with outside painting which initially the management claim would go for couple of days but slowly it took more than a couple of weeks. During that time, the management told us that we need to clear all stuff from balcony. We thought that it is for couple of days and cooperated with them. But slowly we realized that the management is undertaking some major repair work for the apartments.
Now they said that they would break the balcony and rebuild it !! This is even more interesting considering tha fact that couple of days back they re-painted the whole balcony. Why would you paint the balcony when you want to break it and rebuild it!!!
I logged a complain that it would cause issues to us as we have kept many things in our balcony. They said that they really don't care about that and asked me to clear the balcony. So, as of now, I cannot use my balcony for couple of weeks and will not be able to use my disk TV as it is installed in the balcony. So, there are two issues
1. Why i cannot use my balcony when i am paying rent for the whole house. Few days of repair i understand but doing major repair when there is already a tenant in the house shows lack of respect for the customers living in that apartment. The management attitude is that "We don't care"
2. Is there any compensation for the rent i pay for the whole house.
There are some other issues with the apartment

1. The pipes makes a lot of noise if someone above your apartment is using bathroom in the night. I once asked the maintenance man and he said that he won't be able to fix it.
2. The apartment is pretty creaky. You could easily hear someone walking on the top floor.

As of me, I am waiting for my lease to be over before moving out and I do not recommend this overpriced apartments to anyone. bYr9ljUwtCbMRXE8dRDC
