What a Load of Rubbish - Terrible Nightmare of A Place to Live!!

I moved here from another state and of course, loved the complex most especially the school that my children would attend - I moved here primarily for Teasley Elementary.
Of course they showed me the model which seemed reasonable. My apartment had been empty for 3 months before I moved in. I should have known. Within the first week, I had complained 4 times of the 'gassy' smell, they kept telling me it was because the furnace had not been used in a while. Anne tried to convince me that it was normal! How dare she '! She was and is rude, and solicituous. Soon thereafter, we had no hot water - for 3 days and I have children! They did not offer any sort of compensation and had to come back 3 times to get things right. At two weeks into my lease I asked if I could change the lease from 12 months to 6 months - of course they refused. The master bathroom is from the ancient days and the floor tiles are all cracked. The faucet covers are out of place and when their maintenance people came in, the gentleman just shoved them back in place instead of replacing the entire unit. The faucets open the wrong way; we have been scalded by hot water innumerable times. There are gaps in between the baths and the walls, there are also insects in the apartment. Maintenace eventually recaulked the tubs; I could have done a better job myself. The other bathroom has water stains on the ceiling - it took over a month for them to come by and get it done and when they did - it was just painted over. Lets not talk about the kitchen appliances, the are from a museum of sorts. The walls, lets not start!! They are less than paper thin, you hear everything, worse at night when its quiet. They are very slow to react when the onus is on them, but will charge you for anything and everything else. The rent is ridiculous. For the rent, we are entitled to common decency which they/or their owners do not have or care about. Its disgusting, I regret moving here and it has left a sour taste in my mouth for someone who just moved here from another state. I must say thought, that reading the comments from the other tenants makes me realize that I am not just being fussy. This is my worst experience and I cannot wait to leave at the end of the school year. I would not advise anyone to move here, management are unconcerned and maintenance is non-existent. Dorothy is the salt of the earth though. Move on home seekers, this is not a place investing time or money into. You have been warned!

I totally agree with you!!! .. THIS IS THE WORST PLACE.. I have been to almost everywhere in USA and i just moved in from manhattan and its hardly one month.. i am so frustrated with their misleading staff.. they charged anything and misleading about the hidden cost. They wont tell you until you signed the lease.. my recommendation DON'T THINK OF RENTING HERE!!!!! ITS A TOTAL CRAP!!!
