Horrible, Terrible Place to live

I hear the guy who lives on the floor above me walking to the bathroom at 2, 3, and 4 am (probably a prostate thing). Then he wakes up for the day at 5 and keeps walking around. I thought it was just him being annoying. But apparently I bother the guy who lives below me. He's personally complained to me 3 times. It has become such a problem when I see him in the hallway he wont look at me.

The hallways constantly smell like roasted garlic (after it has been thrown into wet garbage). The smell is so embarrassing that it is difficult to bring friends over. The smell leaks through the door,thus the smell welcomes guests into your apartment as they enter. Because of that, people assume it is you. The walls are so thin, I can hear my next door neighbors yelling at eachother. I know every detail of their marriage, and I want a divorce.

One day I came home, and the gentleman living upstairs left his water running. The water seeped through the floor, and ruined all of my belongings in the bathroom. The apartment now not only smelled of roasted wet garlic but now also carried the new scent of moldy left-over water. It took them a while to come correct the issue. When they finally came to paint the ceiling, they did a mickey-mouse type job. It was only after further harrassment did they decide to a somewhat better job.

Sometimes, I hear loud music which is next to impossible to locate to an exact apartment. Whenever the person plays their music, they do so with no regard to their neighbors. Although, I must admit that they have a quality sound system. It is so quality, that when there is any bass in the song, my whole apartment vibrates to the beat. If they decide to play their music on a thursday night, they feel that it is ok to keep doing so until 1 in the morning. One time the gentleman below me, believed that I was playing this music. He responded by adding to the misery by tapping on his ceiling (my floor) with a broom to the beat of annoying.

Some months, they allow the snow to stay for a week. It gets so bad, that the parking lot is like a big mix of melted snow, slush, and mud. I want to move, but I hear that getting your security deposit back is next to impossible, and being a student, every dollar counts.

If you want all your money back, leave the place more than spotless and when the worthless manager comes to inspect before you turn in your keys (make sure you're there and get a copy of the signed off paperwork), she'll be so surprised. I left my place spotless and she seemed shocked that it was so clean, just as a place should be left when a person moves out. I never would have left a mess or any crumbs or the least bit of dirt because I felt sorry for the people who had to live in that hell hole after me. When I moved into my apartment there, there was hair everywhere, kitchen was a grease pit, and the place was so filthy, I just cried. When you do leave there, take pictures and like I said, get a signed off copy of the inspection report right away and make sure you're there while she looks around. Other people have had trouble getting all there deposit money back. Some people have taken this place to court. Also, make sure you wipe out all the cabinets, etc. They're looking for ways to keep your money, which you deserve to get back for going through the hell of living in that dump. Best of luck!
