My first imitation apartment!

From: Annoyedtenant1

Years at this apartment: 2007-01-01 - 2007-01-01
 

I moved into 620 W. Surf when I graduated college because I couln't stand living with my family anymore & was far to impatient to take my time looking for a better deal. The building was managed better when Mary C. was alive (R.I.P Mary!), but it wasn't Hasans fault that things started to fall apart, he had to manage several buildings for Realty & Mortgage. The apartments are smaller than the average dorm room & way overpriced. The realty company does not treat tenants equally, I was paying $550 for a 200 sq ft studio that faced the alley when I found out that a friend who was new to the building only paid $500. I hagled them down & they waived my ac fee, but I had to protest intensly. The area is great, but the building is just not worth living in. Most of the neighbors are noisy, talk loud on their cell phones in the hallway & the garbage backs up in the chute & stinks like mad! I'd say keep looking for the better deals. Afterall, prices could come down if noone is renting.
