The Savoy's Main Problem Isn't the Manager - It is SOME of the GWU Tenants!

This crap isn't an apartment review - it is a mean spirited, inaccurate personal attack.

If there is anything wrong with the Savoy, it isn't the manager - who is compotent, professional, attractive, and appropriately behaved and attired.

The problem is that the manager is caught between the rock of obnoxious and inconsiderate tenants, many of whom are GWU students and a greedy management company that doesn't back her when she tries to move against those tenants.

Many of the buildings problems result from immature tenants.

Although many of the GW students in the building are considerate, many GWU student-tenants treat the building like a dorm.

If you can smell cigarettes, weed, beer, or pets, it is the fault of these tenants.

If criminals or thieves are let in the building at times, it is these tenants that let them in.

If the elevator is broken, it is from excessive GWU traffic.

If the washroom is a mess, these immature college students are to blame.

The immature segement of the GWU student population is the main source of the problems in the building.

The fact is GWU refuses to build enough dorms.

So the school's students are forced out into the Foggy Bottom community.

If the Savoy is too expensive it is because college students packing 4-6 people to an partment distort the apartment market in Foggy Bottom.

The apartment manager shouldn't have to tell tenants not to play soccer in the hallway at 2 in the morning, not to steal furniture from the lobby, not to break light fixtures, not to set off fire extinguishers.

Common sense and common courtesty, and maybe a little parenting should do that.
And if the manager can't stop all this nonsense, it is because she receives no backing from the management company.

They won't spend money on repairs in many cases, they are loath to evict.

And GWU is of little help, they seldom discipline or kick students out, even for criminal behavior.

So the problem isn't the manager, it is the stupidity and immaturity of a segment of the GWU tenants, the bad parenting that creates useless, brain-dead young people like this, the greed and lack of backbone of the management company, GWU's failure to build dorms and to police its student's shennanigans.

My guess is that the mean-spirited little creep that wrote the nasty review was one of these GWU students, probably one that the manager took action against.

And to get the manager back, he/she wrote the nasty "review."

So, don't believe a word of it.

It is just sour grapes.
