I am preparing to move out after living here for the past 5 years. The first 2 years that I lived here everything seemed great. Now it seems as if they couldn't care less about their residents. I'm not a big complainer, never been late on my rent, never had my neighbors complain about me. So why is it that me, a single woman, gets her rent raised by 90 bucks over the past 2 years when my neighbor- a single man- had a 10 dollar increase' That makes no sense.
The parking is terrble here. They do not monitor it at all. Why do they bother telling people that they "have to have a parking sticker or else!" I come home at night after work and I have to park far away from my building while there are a bunch of cars parked right up near my entry way with no stickers on their vehicles at all.
When I do call for maintenance it takes days for them to show up, and when they do they don't resolve the problem. My kitchen light went out 2 months ago. There are no windows in my kitchen. Complete darkness. It is a big u-shaped bulb that they are required to replace. Supposed to last a long time. Right. It took them a week to get in to fix it. The next day it was out again. They didn't even know how to screw in a bulb!!!! It is now out again.
When it gets icy in the winter time- watch out! I fell multiple times on icy parking lots and sidewalks. Isn't that what I am paying almost a thousand a month for--good maintenance'
the heating- where do I start. Shall I say ridiculious' It's the middle of winter and my heat is OFF and my apt is so unbelievably hot that I have to open all the windows to get comfortable. My neighbors all said the same to me. But if you call maintenance they tell you that they have to have the heat set a "certain degree"
Summer- the good 'ol A/C's they have here.....um circa 1970. yeah. Mine were on- with extra fans that I bought and I still wasn't comfortable- and then when I got to look at my electric bill ---what a joke! I was paying big bucks to sit and sweat in my own apartment! I woulda been better off walking around Jewel than sitting on my couch with a fan in my face!
Alrighty then- dishwashers- don't plan on being on the phone while the trusty dishwasher is goin! You can't hear a thing. It's as loud as a semi truck. But the guys in maintenance tell me that it's normal for a dishwasher to sound like that. So basically I have to go into my bedroom and shut the door to have a conversation on the phone when my dishwasher is running. I can't sit in the living room. "All that grinding noise is normal."
For the maintenance department here everything is "normal." Can't close your windows' Oh- that's normal. Closet doors keep coming off track- oh, thats normal. Water dripping into your bathroom from upstairs- oh, thats no big deal- that's normal!!!
I could go on and on. What a shame that such a nice looking apartment complex has such incompetent workers and managment.

Looks nice from the outside!!!
