RIVERWIND IS A NIGHTMARE !!! WE THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A GOOD RENTAL FACILITY BUT THE PRE-APPLICATION PROCESS HAS MUCH TO BE DESIRED. DON'T FILL OUT THAT APPLICATION. THE LEASING OFFICE WILL TAKE YOUR DEPOSIT AND SAY THAT YOU HAVE AN APARTMENT AND EXPECT YOU TO WAIT 3 MONTHS BEFORE YOU HEAR - YES OR NO. IN THE MEANTIME, THEY CHECK YOUR CREDIT AND DEPOSIT YOUR CHECK. WE PUT A DEPOSIT ON FEB. 6TH, 2009 AND THEY DID NOT TELL MY DAUGHTER WHETHER OR NOT SHE WAS ACCEPTED UNTIL THE 2ND LAST DAY OF SCHOOL, WHICH BY THIS TIME WAS APRIL 27TH. HOW DEVASTATING FOR A FRESHMAN AT UCF TO HEAR THIS AT SUCH SHORT NOTICE !!! THIS WAS ONLY AFTER MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS CONSISTENTLY CONTACTED RIVERWIND TO OBTAIN AN ANSWER. NOT ONLY DID THEY HAVE TO RUSH AND SCRAMBLE TO LOCATE ANOTHER APARTMENT BUT RIVERWIND HAD THEIR $300 DEPOSIT. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT MY DAUGHTER'S DEPOSIT WILL BE MAILED WITHIN 30 DAYS. HAVE THEY LOST THEIR MINDS ' THEY HAD OUR $300 SINCE EARLY FEB AND IT WAS NOW THE END OF APRIL. I HAVE REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNER OF RIVERWIND BUT WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER TO THE "CORPORATE" OFFICE IN GAINESVILLE. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNER/CEO OF RIVERWIND. AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT NAMED CARLA REALIZED THAT I WAS EXTREMELY IRRATE AND STATED THAT I WOULD BE CUT A CHECK BY THE END OF APRIL. IT IS NOW MAY 8TH AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED OUR MONEY NOR HAVE I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE OWNER/CEO OF RIVERWIND. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND WILL APPEAR ON NEWS 13 SHOULD I NOT RECEIVE MY DEPOSIT BY MONDAY, MAY 11TH. RIVERWIND CONDUCTED BUSINESS POORLY AND DISAPPOINTED AND RIPPED OFF MORE THAN 30 FRESHMAN STUDENTS OF UCF. TOTALLY UNETHICAL !
