Just getting worse

I've been here for two years now, & not renewing the lease. Grounds are ok, not the greatest, for a long time the grass was just dried up, & they only put fresh sod in the front where the leasing office is & where the manager resides. Ant farms everywhere, can't even stay on the grass half the time! Half the sprinklers don't work, & when they do, they just pour out water or make a mess of the sidewalk from shifting sand. Stray cats everywhere...have made the office aware of this & have yet to do anything about it, they were aware tenants were feeding cats as well. One of the pools were closed all summer, all green & brown. Forced tenants to use one pool all summer. Area areound the pool not maintained to well either, broken cement, & algae around the fence. Many thefts & vehicles being broken into...so bad the police department posted fliers in the mail room to secure all vehicles. So bad there was even a shooting...how safe is that when there are many young children that run around the complex. Buildings are very old, they keep renevating the interior, but the exterior is showing it's age. The AC units are very old & electric is very high due to that as well as no insulation. Garbage is always overflowing & ripped bags just laying in the street. & last but not least...management in the office can unhelpful. Their staff is constantly changing, & lately have beening hiring rude people. Manager can be a pain, especially if you don't do things her way all the time. & will not give any leeway. You can complain or give suggestions all you want or even request something...80% of the time you'll be disappointed. But if you're late with rent, they are quick to send you a letter to evict you. Then their excuse is...it's corporate policies. No help what-so-ever.

It went from actually liking the complex to just wishing I could afford to break the lease & just move. It's just getting worse here...sorry.
