Falling apart, not to mention mice

I have lived at Falkland Chase for about two years and CAN'T WAIT to leave. I've had a number of problems with my apartment. I have been locked in/out several times of my own bedrooms due to crappy doorknobs. Appliances in the kitchen are old. Had to replace my fridge, because it no longer got cold. They first came and defrosted it, then about two weeks later there was no progress so they had to replace it. Now these are all minor problems. Maintenance is very nice and very helpful, usually respond to resquests within 48 hrs, unless very urgent. Now, here are the things that made my time at Falkland Chase unbearable (but of course had to deal) MICE! there are mice all over this community. I have had maintenance come more than 5 times about mice. No matter how clean I keep the kitchen, those suckers find a way in. There are holes in the side of the building in which the mice come through, and I've even seen them just walk right in from the front door. While putting the garbage out, I see dead mice all over the pavement and it's not very pleasant. Other thing, the laundry rooms. They are not in each building which means you have to trek your way over there with your laundry. And when its cold out, it's no fun going in and out just to do laundry, but of course it has to be done. The walls are paper thin, you can hear everything your neighbor does, which isnt very pleasant. Their stomping sometimes causes my whole apartment to shake. Parking, not enough parking for it's own residents. I told management about this, and they advised me to park on the street. Really' on the street' Tenants with dogs don't alway pick up their business. Overall, don't move here. Yes the location is wonderful, but for the price your paying (expensive) you're not getting your moneys worth, and utilities aren't included. Oh, the kitchens are also TINY. I can't even open my oven fully, how dangerous is that'
