I am currently living in Chase Mooring, and I'm fighting to break my lease to get out of this prison. I moved in last summer, and as I naive 19 year old, I enjoyed the freedom of living with friends and being away from my parents. Right now, I'd rather be living in a park.

When I moved in, there were mostly decent tenants living in my building and in neighboring buildings. Now, there are people constantly sitting on the stairs acting like you are inconveniencing them by walking to your car. There are groups of people that stand outside my window being obnoxious, loud, and highly intoxicated (alcohol, marajuana, you name it) until very early in the morning. We call the police to help get rid of the people, but they come right back twenty minutes later. Sometimes, they verbally assault the cops, and the cops just leave. I tell the people to be quiet, and they pay no attention to me. Most of them don't even live in this complex.

Every tenant that has lived under us has been extremely loud while we're trying to sleep. When confronted, they either complain on us, or they tell us to go sleep on the couch if it's too loud. No one has any respect for anyone else.

Although the management says there is adequate parking, they're not telling the truth. They only have enough space for the tenants. What happens when they give out visitor passes' My girlfriend has to park on a side street and get everything that's valuable to her stolen from her car. There are cars in our lot that have been sitting there for months without moving. One has a large rock lodged under its tire so that it won't roll away. Oh, and if you do park your car in the lot, you'll get people sitting on it, breaking their beer bottles around it, and putting nails in your tires.

When my girlfriend's car was broken into, a POLICE OFFICER told us that they suspect that the offender lives in this complex. Later, he told us that there is a homeless shelter being moved from downtown to practically across the street. His words were, "...the crime rate is going to rise in this area." He also told us that a woman down the street had her car broken into for a steering wheel cover. What is going on here' If there are already four cars being broken into in one night, what's going to happen when we have homeless people hanging around the area desperate for money, food, etc'

When we went to talk with the management about getting out of our lease, the manager said that because we hadn't formally placed our complaints in writing, there's nothing that she can do. She told us to find out where the people are living and tell her. I, for one, am not about to go down and ask the people that talk about their new guns for their apartment numbers. My roommate had a nail hammered into her tire for telling people to be quiet. This is insane. The Chase Mooring management's response was that if we can't give them apartment numbers and things, they won't help us.

So, basically, I don't have the money to pay rent for two apartments, so I'm forced to live here. If I just leave and don't pay, I'll ruin my credit. With grad school coming up in a year, I don't have enough money to pay for it without student loans. Without good credit, I can't go to school.

Chase Mooring is a prison, and I feel like I just dropped the soap.
