First - there was not a gym prior to Katrina.

Second - the current pet fee is $500 not $1,500.

Third - the risk of 1st and 2nd floor apartments EVERYWHERE have the risk of hearing the people above them. It has more to do with the individuals who live above. If you have rude neighbors - you will have noise problems.

Fourth - when was the last time a landlord replaced carpet while someone is living there with all of their furniture to be hauled out to a different location' It doesn't happen without HUGE expense or extreme damage. Expecting this is above and beyond any reality.

Yes, there are yearly increases at Sunlake. This is not a new occurrence to anyone who rents. Yes, it was excessive after Katrina - since citywide rents increased 40%, one cannot blame Sunlake alone.

The apartments are adaquate. Maintained in the usual manner of mid-level price apartments. If you expect lush carpet and newest appliances - go elsewhere and spend more. The complex is reasonably safe, reasonably maintained, and reasonably staffed.

Wow, nice try at damage control, Tonti people. Yeah, there WAS a gym at Sunlake. Want me to scan and post my schematic/map, given to me at the time of rental? Sunlake and its management group are horrific!

Yes it was a Gym before Katrina, and you forgot to tell the people about that you always keep the deposit, no matter what, you forgot to tell the people about that we do not have privacy because the maintenance guys or womans always open your door no matter what you are you doing or even without nobody there, you forgot to tell the people about the security gates open all the time and with nobody there, and even if the pet fee is $500.00 that pet fee is riduculous. Thanks God I do not like dogs. The management pople treat you like a King at the moment of the application but once they got you, you are nobody. I moved already, 3 days ago and I'm happy with my new appartment, cheaper and bigger, more secure and privacy. No problems

Deposits are never "kept". Charges are made for legitimate damages and maintenance only enters apartments AT A RESIDENT'S REQUEST unless it is an emergency situation. Gates are scheduled to be open during certain daylight hours.
