When we first moved here it was good. Neighbors, no rodent or roach problems.In 2007 is when the real trouble came, public housing complexes were being torn down . A great deal of the residents have come from the recently torned down public housing in the surrounding area. When my family moved here our family had 2 incomes, however I lost my job and instead of decreasing the rent it was increased (these are income based apartments). The management staff made it clear that they were all about money. Everything here is poor and cheap. My former neighbors had a full drum set and ever beat could be heard and felt because the walls and floors are paper thin. Complaining to manangement did not help. Our last two months at that apartment we caught 4 mice and there was a roach infestation what would scare you out of your socks. The laundry facility works, SOMETIMES. Oh, I almost forgot if you love the smell of urine and feces on the elevator, this is the place for you. Two small girls went missing from this complex (3500 S. lake Park) and have not been found, so IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN DONT RAISE THEM HERE PLEASE! the lights in the parking lot are on sometimes and the so called security does not check the buildings. They just walk in the front lobby and out the back door. We purchased a brand NEW Nissan Altima and two days later the windshield was cracked. East Lake (the management company) is not responsible , however in order to park in the parking lot you MUST provide the office with proof of insurance.JUST DONT RENT HERE OR WITH EAST LAKE MANAGEMENT!!!! OH the rent is increased every Spetember 1st for "building beautification".

Sounds like you need help. I can send you a tenants rights handbook, or you can contact Metropolitan Tenant Organization, and get a Tenant Association, contact Southside Together Organizing for Power at stopgentrification@gmail.com
