                      Thank you very much for sharing these comments, Twotrees999. I personally went to the apartment yesterday and found no issues aside from a dirty filter and the coil burning dust from lack of use. I also verified the tenant of this apartment and your son is an unauthorized occupant which is a direct violation of the lease agreement. Also a work order needs to be placed with the office for any service work to be performed. Telling a maintenance person on property does not guarantee any work to be performed.
