Cons:
1 - Brand new microwave already broken upon move-in. Took over 1 month to get replacement microwave that had been sitting in maintenance storage the whole time.
2 - Accent wall painted wrong color upon move-in. Never fixed.
3 - 1980s wallpaper in bathroom not replaced just painted over with 1 coat of white paint so that it just blurred the blue paper underneath.
4 - Large mildew deposit on the ceiling in living room. After one night of living there a good portion (3 square feet) of the ceiling had fallen in and dripped water onto the carpet. 3 days before hole in ceiling "repaired" (ie. painted). Now the wall is cracking from the leak that has never been fixed.
5 - Window in living room leaked rain onto the carpet during thunderstorms.
6 - No fire extinguisher in apartment.
7 - Huge exterior storage big enough for our broom and host of arachnids. Broken into on a monthly basis.
8 - Mildew deposits in both bathrooms. Tiling is buckling because of water damage. Paint coming off of bathroom walls.
9 - Water from one bathroom sink smelled of sulfur.
10 - Stained carpet never replaced when assured it would be.
11 - Countless mice trapped and killed (by us, not maintenance). Mouse hole in wall fixed with expanding foam which was spilled all over the laundry room, walls, and cabinet.
12 - Hot water stopped working in one shower.
13 - Mouse droppings found in "spacious" kitchen cabinetry. Random dead mouse found in utility room.
14 - Outside light broken and never replaced.
15 - Pool out of order for majority of summer.
16 - No online rent payment and website not up to date.
17 - Friends with management and still couldn't get proper service. Things never got done on time if at all.
18 - Computer lab out of service for almost 3 months.

Pros
1 - Electricity, water, basic cable, internet, and trash all included in rent.
2 - We moved out.
