Security is a major issue

I just moved out of Arbor Glen and my 1 year there was a nightmare. Within a month or so of move in we had a peeping tom who actually sliced one of our screens and tried to force his way into our apartment at 9pm on a monday. I immediatley notified the office and they did absolutly nothing. I had asked for extra bars for our windows and the removal of 3 pine trees obstructing the view of one of our windows(the one the guy tried to come through) Needless to say this more than rattled me. Well then spring break rolls around and we come home to find out our neighbors next to us were burglarized as well as another tenant a few buildings down. I put in writing (which I hand delivered and spoke to them about also) to the office I would like something done to increase security yet still nothing. Well I guess the 3rd time is a charm when we found a screen with its frame busted and I went in to the office and demanded that they do something. This was August though so it only took 8 months to get help (Note the sarcasm). Our apartment was uncleaned upon move-in with stains in the carpet and broken doors. Our neighbors bathtub leaked through our cieling and the managements solution was drywall compound. They tried to charge us for an extra months rent because they took over 2 weeks to process our move out papers, which i had never heard of before. The covered parking was nice, but not when I was up at 6:00 am in pitch black because they were too cheap to leave lights on until then even though a girl had been robbed at gunpoint 2 blocks away during that week. They do not give 2 sh*ts about the safety of their tenants and I hope nothing bad happens before they realize they need to shape up and conform their policies on tenant safety.
