Renaissance Club formerly Loch Raven Apartments

 

1.

My rent was reasonable, which is the best thing I can say about this complex.

2.

The management offers tenants the "luxury" of having daily pick-up of trash Mon-Sat.

mornings before 9 am.

Of course, the company that Loch Raven Apts.

used picked up the trash at various times of the day.

Of course, this would be fine except the squirrels and crows came from far and wide to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast each day.

The animals would proceed to scatter the food throughout the grounds.

I could mark the calendar by the "treats" that awaited my return home from work.

On Tuesdays, the lawn was strewn with chicken bones.

On Saturday, fish bones would be scattered instead.

3.

One Sunday, I was fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of an all-too-appreciative rat who made a lovely meal with one of my neighbors discarded loaves of Wonder bread.

When I dialed the emergency number to report my meeting with the rodent, the maintenance man advised me that he would place baits in the bushes lining the walkway.

I, in turn, advised him that the trash left on the walkway was more than enough bait for Mr.

Rat.

In fact, the rat was now on to his second course of, what appeared to be, yet another neighbors leftover roast beef.

I advised the maintenance man further that perhaps an exterminator was needed to relocate the rat to parts unknown.

Unfortunately, the maintenance failed to appreciate my advice.

He did, in fact, ignore my pleas for a rat-free living environment.

3.

The pipes inside the apartment house burst causing water stains on the walls.

Soon, mold began to grow on the walls which was accompanied by a foul odor.

When the management office was notified of such, they were non-responsive to say the least.

4.

The walls are paper thin.

Every weekend, you will be soothed to sleep by the wonderful sounds of rap music blasted at the highest possible decibels that $ can buy.

You will also be treated to the sounds of your neighbors telephone conversations and any domestic disputes that may arise.

Again, management failed to adequately address this problem when it was brought to their attention.

5.

If the previous problems were not reason enough to dissuade one from moving into this gem of a complex, then bear in mind your "reasonable" rent will be raised significantly after your first year.

Management will claim that the reason for the rent increase is to allow for the increased operating costs.

6.

Also, please allow for numerous and substanial delays in the return of your security deposit.
