I wish I would have read the reviews before I decided to sign a year lease here. At the time I moved in the apartment had a great offer of no security deposit and no move-in fees.

I knew the apartment would be small with no storage space after viewing the model. However, I did not expect it to be filthy!!! There were dead bugs in the kitchen, the bathroom was disgusting, and the carpet looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in ages. The dishwater was filled with dirty moldy water with all sorts of debris at the bottom. I contacted the management about cleaning the apartment and I was told that it was my responsibility!! The nerve!! They attempted to fix the dishwasher but it was so disgusting I chose not to use it.

I paid for a maid service to come and clean the apartment and I replaced all the bathroom fixtures. I bought 4 cans of Raid Fumigator to make sure I killed any bugs that may be in the apartment. However, I continued to have problems with roaches, spiders, and millipedes despite having pest control spray the apartment. One morning as I was preparing to take I shower I noticed there wads a HUGE spider in the bathtub!! I was terrified because I almost stepped in with it!!

After about 3 months I was locked out of my apartment one morning because the battery on the electric lock on the door needed to be recharged. I had to wait an hour for the employees to show up to get into the apartment and ended up missing one of my classes!! After I was told the problem was fixed I continued to have issues entering my own apartment.

Also the walls were so thin! My bedroom was next to the bedroom of my neighbor and I could here everything that went on in her room, from simple conversations to more disturbing things!! There is no privacy!! Also it is not safe!! One of my neighbors apartment was broken into over the holidays.

My lease was finally up in July and I was free to move elsewhere. I thought I was finally free from this horrible place. However, now management claims that I owe them $800 in cleaning fees and to replace the carpet!! Luckily I completed a move-in inspection form and service request forms listing all the problems that I had with the apartment. I now have a lawyer that will help me fight these people. Renting here has been such a hassle since the day I moved in and continues to be a hassle even after I have moved out!!

Take my advice and the advice of the other numerous reviews and do not move in!!!

funny that there are so many people having the exact same problems I had/am having. I too moved out, and now they are trying to charge me over 600 bucks for fees to clean the apartment, when clearly, they DONT clean the apartments... so where is that money going? I am also thinking about getting a lawyer. They tend to favor tenants and not landlords, and since Student Housing Solutions has been screwing over renters since the beginning, I think you'll be alright. Good luck to you, and Im so sorry that happened! I know exactly how you feel!!!!!
