SHORT-TERM RENTERS BEWARE!!!

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 8/24/2006
Years at this apartment: 2006 - 2006
 
We asked for a 60-day lease while our house was being finished, but was told 90-days is as small as they go. Having no choice we signed. Moving in, the floors and bathrooms were not cleaned. We had a horrible insect problem despite being sprayed (supposedly) twice within the first couple weeks. The place should be called Millipede Mansion (lots of spiders too!) Also, we put in maintenance requests to clear the tub drains (they took about :20 to drain) which were never acted upon. The noise was not as bad as others have written, but there is a bit of dog feces in the common areas. Finally, the fire sprinkler leaked in our appartment and when they finished repairing the ceiling they left insulation and plaster on the floor for us to clean up. When we went to terminate the lease, we were told that because we had not filled out a 60-day termination notice, which is a standard lease blurb but not really applicable for short-term leases, we were told we had to pay through the 60 days. If you consider this AMLI, be very careful as the agents will not work with you in any way, shape or form. I even offered to turn in the keys early so they could rent the apartment while still collecting rent from us and they refused. I asked to speak to the manager, was told she was on the phone and would call me but she never did, which is typical in dealing with the office staff. I have a call into the regional office. Wish me luck. All in all, I would not recommend AMLI at Windward Park to anyone. Too high priced, too non-responsive to resident concerns, and too poorly run in what is a very competitive business. As you can tell from the rating, it's in the low 60% approval. As you can see from the above, it's for good reason.
