Equity owns this place and it has gone downhill over the years. They will basically allow anyone to move in so the young and economically impaired have taken root. If it isn't the constant loud stereos that vibrate entire floors then it is the cars driving by playing hip hop so loud the windows rattle in the apt. There were several rapes last summer one involving a 13 year old girl in the pool area. Management is quiet about it. There was also a string of burglaries - Management is quiet
If you call the office about a noise problem they tell you to call the police dept. After several vain attempts they will 'allow' you to move but it is all the same ghetto complex so one frying pan to another.
This place is really run down. Rather than replace a faucet they will 'turn it around' so that it turns on in the wrong direction. The pet problem is severe. The animals urinate and deficate right at the entry to the apts so in the summer heat is smells terrible. You can be sure that your 'pet friendly' apt has had a pet and that you will smell urine in the unit or on the porch. The excessive spider webs in every breezeway itself speaks of poor to no care.
So what if the dishwasher is 10 years old and doesn't actually clean dishes. As long as it runs a cycle they won't replace or repair it. Get it - if water is splashing that is good enough and you have a dishwasher.
This place is well on the way to Section 8 only. They just lost a class action lawsuit screwing their tenants - Here is the text:

EQUITY RESIDENTIAL: Landlord loses suit over lease penalties

By Tribune staff
Published December 7, 2004

Equity Residential knowingly violated Florida law and must pay $1.6 million in damages, not including attorneys' fees, a state court judge ruled Friday in a class-action case.

Chicago-based Equity Residential said it would appeal.

For more than five years, the real estate investment trust imposed illegal penalties on tenants who terminated their leases early or failed to notify the REIT that they did not intend to renew leases, the judge ruled.

Most of the 14,700 class members refused to pay the penalties, and Equity reported the unpaid amounts, totaling more than $15 million, to credit agencies. The judge ordered Equity to remove the charges from accounts and send corrected information to the credit firms.

You should consider renting a house or looking elsewhere because this place is a dive that is too deep
