Northlake Park Apartments

Ok, until you move out, that is... From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 11/6/2006 Years at this apartment: 2003 - 2006   I have to admit that I feel a little bit better reading the reviews and finding out I wasn't the only one with maintenance issues and parking problems, and treated with disrespect and outright rudeness from management staff. The hispanic lady in the office isn't the manager but she thinks she is- and the other reviewer was right on- she has no customer relations skills whatsoever. I had the pleasure of living directly adjacent to her apartment and she had multiple cars parked in front while thugs in skull caps worked on the vehicles (with music blaring) day and night. She also had people in and out of her place at all hours, slamming the door and yelling in the parking lot. The maintenence staff is very nice, it was just hard to get help. The garbage dumpster overflows almost every Saturday but don't leave your trash there if it is! We were fined $50.00 a bag when we had to leave it next to the dumpster because it wouldn't fit inside. I can only imagine how much money they made off of that little issue- we laid our bags next to at least 20 others and I'm sure we weren't the only ones fined. When I tried to argue, they just produced a page from my lease and highlighted a line about proper trash disposal. When I left it outside my front door late one Sunday, I had a fine on my door before I left for work at 8 am. And the dumpster was STILL overflowing. In any case, we took very good care of our apartment and even hired a maid to come in after us and re-clean what we cleaned. Three weeks after the move out, I received a bill for $1,200 "Additional wear and tear" repairs. We lived there for 3 years! They charged $35.00 to replace a mini-blind! The charges were ridiculous! We paid a $450 pet deposit plus the security deposit and then an additional 1200'''' I am still trying to negotiate this with the home office in Virginia, but so far, no one wants to help. STAY AWAY!!!!!
