Whats the problem'

I have read teh last few posts and I am amazed at the amount of inaccurate information! First of all, these 'supplemental heat units' are 100% better than the old system. I CAN ACTUALLY CONTROL THE HEAT IN MY APARTMENT! Those old units were like 25 years old and didnt work well at all! I AM WARMER THIS YEAR THAN i WAS LAST YEAR! My first bill was rather shocking but after reading one of the news letters, I sent Mike an email asking to have my windows checked out. He sent a crew up and insulated my windows. HUGE difference! Next, I asked him about the 'supplemental' statement in the book. He gave me a letter from the manufacturer that stated in very clear terms that these units are designed t be primary heat sources for apartments, hotels, etc. It has been stated that these apartments are 'pricey'. Well, You should look around the area. My 1 bedroom is BIGGER than most 2 bedrooms in the WSU area. I know, I have looked at enough of them. Rent going up'' No way. You must not have gotten the notice for the rent freeze for the NEXT TWO YEARS that went out a few weeks ago. The lease says that heat is included in the rent' I have seen this stated before (in a nice email from 'john doe') So I read all of my leases (I just signed my 4th one) and I do not see that stated ANYWHERE. Door buzzer' pleassseee!! Be thankful that we have a secure entrance and video cameras! I would rather have him concentrating on big things like windows and heaters than getting a buzzer hooked up! (For the record, I can't use the buzzer system. I don't have a 313 phone number) I have been here for 3 different owners and I am amazed at all the improvements made in the last 8 months. You couldn't find Mike to get a new door card' Why didnt you ask him to slide it under your door' I recently needed a new parking pass, so I asked him to slide it under my door. Guess what' It was there when I got home from work. I have seen Mike and company working on weekends, holidays, and late at night. This is a great building that is getting better. A lot of things getting done. So what is the problem'

Mike is nice to people who move in before they move in and for the first few months they move in. After that it could go either way. If you have something that you need help with, he's pretty much gonna be a jerk to you. I've witnessed him being rude and irrational with tenants, and he's done it with me, over petty things and things that I have no control over. He's even tried blaming some of they faulty things in the apartment on me. I think he's terrible. Besides, he probably posted this himself to save face.
