Wow, where do I start' First off, the apartment wasn't even ready on the lease date and they didn't even offer the courtesy of a pro-rate. Upon moving in, this is the list of things that missing or defective: Blinds, kitchen sink plug, bathroom mirror magnet, closet door knob, poor water pressure, broken dishwasher, a toilet top that didnt even fit the toilet, toilet paper rod, fire alarm, kitchen sink water sprayer, freezer rail guard, ice cube tray, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom lightbulbs. The apartment was also filthy under the fridge, the stove, the sets of blinds we actually did recieve, broken and dirty heaters throughout the apartment and, cat food, hair, litter and residue everywhere. Although, they did fix most of those problems in the first month we were there, the problems never ceased. Our next door neighbor likes to play techno til 3am in the morning, the parking lot we pay $145 a month currently is covered by an inch thick sheet of ice and it took them 3 weekends to fix a washing machine when there is only 2 in the building. To top that all off, we have an apartment with its heat stuck above 80 degrees. When approaching them personally and filling out a request form, all those issues were ignored and we were told that opening the window would only make the heat worse. It is a winter from hell for us that makes the summer of centipede infestation and constant bites throughout the night seem charming. We currently have obtained the Illinois Tenant Union to help us break our lease and were informed that they never gave us a code violation disclosure form. After informing the landlord we are looking to break our lease, he resulted to credit report intimidations and lies that his building has had no infractions. We come to find out that he had several, besides our own, in November 2007. Our code violations include, no self closing device for our front door, the back door building and the elevator door. For the first time in my life, I am actually looking forward to someone taking me to court, and I pray that he does.
