Stay away - Scam - Bait & Switch

This place is a scam. They show you a nice unit and tell you that all of the units look the same but when you sign the papers and go to your apartment it is totally different. My apartment was loud, outdated, & smelled of cat pee. The carpet needed replaced 5 years ago and was a mess. There was a water leak in the unit above that damaged my walls and carpet but instead of fixing it they brought in a fan to dry the carpet and painted over the water marks on the walls. It was so bad that I paid $1000 to break my lease and move out and now they are keeping my deposit and trying to bill me another $1000. I wouldn't recommend this place to someone I hate. Look elsewhere you'll be happy that you did. I posted this review anonymously only because I have retained an attorney and don't want this review to hurt my case.

That's weird because the apartment that I moved into there was as nice if not more nice than the one that they showed me. Maybe you treated them like you are talking to people in this review and that is not how you get things done. Also, a nice common sense move for you in the future would be to ask and see the apartment that you are actually moving into before you sign any papers. My 5 year old neice could figure that out...but whatever.
