Still here..reconsidered

From: upallnite
Date posted: 6/11/2004
Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2006
 
Okay, when I first moved in there were issues, but some were fixed. The kitchen flooring was coming up, but they fixed it. A window was missing a lock, but I got one. Biggest was the gas oven which did not heat properly (after 45 minutes set at 400 it got up to 250).
Maintenance kept telling me it is fine and I am wrong. But a letter to the management got me a new (replacement) oven.
Had to call cops a few times for those "Jerry Springer Show" fights outside, but those people moved away.
I'm in my third 12-month lease now and it's not as bad as when I first moved here. I am used to the loud shower and bathtub noise from other apartments. I'm still not used to the thin ceiling and hearing the guy's every footstep, but he's not as "active" as the previous neighbors who seemed to walk around all night long. This guy actually goes to bed before midnight and gets up around the time I do for work.
My energy bills are not bad. Parking is not bad. Crossing my fingers the zero crime continues (although a drunk girl backed her car into this nice elderly couple's car a few months back and she just drove off).
Rent has increased over three years for my 1-bedroom from $585 to $650. I see online they want $744 now..okay THAT is a little steep but a new management company did just take over.
I am more than willing to stay here, but I am waiting for one of my upstairs neighbors to move out so I can see about moving upstairs.
