I MOVED IN ON OCTOBER 9, 2008 AND IT HAS BEEN HELL EVER SINCE. I TOLD THE STAFF THAT I WAS IN NO HURRY TO MOVE IN BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE IN WHEN THEY FINISHED THE APARTMENT. I WAS ASSURRED THAT THE APARTMENT WAS READY TO MOVE IN AND WHEN I DID MY WALK THROUGH I DISCOVERED SOME PROBLEMS LIKE NO DOOR ON MY HOT WATER HEATER, MY SHOWER ROD NOT PUT UP, A CRACK IN THE LIGHT FIXTURE, THE STOVE TOP NOT PUT TOGETHER AND MY FRONT DOOR IN NEED OF A NEW DOOR! I WAS PROMISED THAT ALL THESE THINGS WOULD BE RESOLVED WITHIN A WEEK, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ORDERED MY DOORS AND THEY SENT THE WORKER TO FIX THE SMALL THINGS SUCH AS THE STOVE TOP AND PUTTING UP THE SHOWER ROD. WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN THERE WAS OLD FURNITURE IN THE UPSTAIRS PART OF MY APARTMENT I HAD CALLED AND TOLD THEM TO REMOVE THE FURNITURE THE DAY BEFORE AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THE MEN WOULD MOVE IT WHEN THEY PUT DOWN MY NEW CARPET, SO THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO MOVE IN WHAT TO MY SURPRISE I HAVE NEW CARPET BUT THIS OLD FURNITURE IS STILL IN MY UPSTAIRS!!! NOW THIS IS SLOWING DOWN MY MOVING IN PROCESS AND MAY I SAY HELP IS HARD TO FIND, SO I DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD ANYONE UP. I PHONED THE FRONT OFFICE AND I TOLD HER THAT THE FURNITURE WAS STILL IN THE APARTMENT AND IT NEEDED TO BE REMOVED SHE TOLD ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE THERE WITHIN 5 TO 10 MINUTES, I WAITED 35 MINUTES AND PHONED HER AGAIN AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY AGAIN, I WAITED A HOUR!!! I WAS NOW PISSED I GOT IN MY CAR AND DROVE AROUND TO THE OFFICE, AND I ASKED HER WHAT WAS THE HOLD UP? I TOLD HER TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW COULD HER STAFF BE SO LAZY THAT THEY WOULD REMOVE THE OLD FURNITURE, TAKE OUT THE OLD CARPET, PUT DOWN NEW CARPET, AND THEN INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE OLD FURNITURE IN THE TRASH THEY PUT IT BACK INTO MY APARTMENT? ABOUT 5 MEN CAME TO MY APARTMENT FINALLY AND DID THE SMALL ODDS AND INNS, THEY REMOVED THE FURNITURE, PUT UP THE SHOWER ROD AND PUT THE STOVE TOP TOGETHER. I TOLD HER THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING BUT CLEAN UP AND MOVE IN NOT HAVE TO PUT STUFF TOGETHER!!! ABOUT A WEEK LATER I NOTICE THAT MY OVEN DIDN'T WORK AT ALL, MY BATH TUB UPSTAIRS DRIPPED ALL DAY LONG, IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF, MY WATER PRESSURE UPSTAIRS WAS SO LOW THAT I HAD NO RUNNING WATER OUT OF THE SINK! MY KITCHEN SINK LEAKED BADLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE, SO I COULD ONLY RUN WATER ON ONE SIDE! I CALLED THE OFFICE AND REPORTED ALL THESE THINGS TO HER, AND SHE ASSURRED ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE THERE THAT DAY TO FIX MY ITEMS I ALSO ASKED ABOUT MY DOORS SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY STILL HAVEN'T CAME IN FROM THE ORDER! NO ONE EVER SHOWED UP, I CALLED EVERYDAY FOR 2 WEEKS, I HAVE MADE VISITS TO THE OFFICE TO TELL HER IN PERSON AND SHE LIED TO MY FACE AND TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD SEND SOMEONE OVER RIGHT AWAY...NOONE EVER CAME. TODAY IS NOVEMBER 8,2008 AND I HAVE BEEN IN MY APARTMENT FOR A MONTH NOW AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED, THIS IS A TERRIBLE EXPERINECE FOR ME BEING THAT THIS IS MY FIRST APARTMENT! I HATE LIVING IN PARHAM POINTE!!! I HAVE TO BRUSH MY TEETH DOWNSTAIRS, I HAVE TO LISTEN TO A RUNNING WATER ALL DAY AND NIGHT LONG, I CAN'T USE MY OVEN SO I HAVEN'T COOKED A PROPER MEAL YET, MY MISSING DOOR ON MY HOT WATER HEATER IS AN EYESORE, I HAVE TO WASH DISHES ON ONE SIDE OF THE SINK AND NOW I HAVE LITTLE BLACK BUGS AROUND MY KITCHEN SINK AND UPSTAIRS BATH TUB BECAUSE ALL THE WATER LEAKS! MY FRONT DOOR LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO PRY IT OPEN WITH A BUTTE KNIFE AND MY DOORS HAVE NOT CAME IN FROM BEING ORDERD PROBALLY BECAUSE THEY NEVER ODERED THEM. I STILL HAVE NO MAILBOX OR GATECARD KEY, THESE ARE THINGS THAT WERE PROMISED THAT I WOULD HAVE IN A WEEKS TIME BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ORDER THEM! THE OFFICE STAFF IS UNPROFESSIONAL AND THE MAINTENCE STAFF IS LAZY, ALL I HAVE EVER SEEN THEM DO IS DRIVE AROUND ON A GOLF CART CIRCLING THE PROPERTY! THIS IS NOT LIVING AT ITS BEST, I HATE LIVING IN PARHAM POINTE AND I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT MOVING IN TO NOT MOVE IN, IT'S A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! ANOTHER THING WHEN I MOVED IN THERE WAS CABLE WIRE ALL THROUGH THE APARTMENT WHICH IS NOW HANGING OUTSIDE MY PATIO DOOR THAT SITS ON THE GROUND NEXT TO MY SCREEN DOOR THAT WAS NEVER PROPERLY PUT ON! RESIDENTS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PAY A WATER BILL BUT THEY MAKE YOU PAY A 10.00 WATER FEE EACH MONTH!!! SOUNDS LIKE A BILL TO ME I DON'T CARE IF IT IS JUST 10.00!!!
