I moved in for the summer by subleasing. The person said her roommate moved out for the summer and paid the room off so no one else would move in. I moved into the townhouse thinking I was getting 2 rooms for the price of one. Then one morning as I stay home from work sick with a cold, the maintenance guys barge in saying that I need to get my junk out of the second bedroom and that I was encroaching on private property. I said, "Huh'" Apparently, the second tenant did not pay for the summer when she left so the Orchards wanted to sublease it, understandably. But unbeknownst to me! So I cause a fuss and manage to get a friend to move in and take over the second lease. During this same period, I had a cat in my apartment (yes illegally) and they found out and went ballistic. Almost kicked me out. They found out I had a cat when they barged in my house for a second time while I was in the shower. The manager and asst mgr are VERY nice but everyone else in there is rude and will make jokes about you behind your back as you walk out of the office. My neighbors are friendly but constantly have extremely loud music on which the person I subleased from lied to me about. Luckily I feel comfortable knocking on their door to tell them to shut-up... My place is comfortable and decent. The price IS high and nothing is included in the rent. Oh, I am concerned about the air quality in my apartment because ever since I moved in I have had a sinus problem and there is always mold growing in the toilets. My appliances are not 30 yrs old but they aren't brand new... I would say Orchards is worth considering but I won't live here again because of the rude staff, noisy neighbors, and no pet policy.
