If you have higher than a third world country standard of living, don't move here.

I have lived here for almost a year with my fiance and it has been horrible, I am so glad we are leaving once our lease is up.
Here is a list of my complaints (I am sure others have many more, as I just read the bed bug review):
1) The water is turned off sporadically, sometimes without notice/warning. It was once turned off for 24 STRAIGHT! Can you imagine not having water for 24 hours all the while paying $600 a month'
2) The smell of a nasty cigar/cigarette comes wafting through our apartment about once a week, it smells so horrid I have to cover my face with a cloth and spray air freshener everywhere. This is suppose to be non-smoking, but obviously it's not.
3) Laundry room usually has at least three broken washers and/or dryers. It is dirty, and I almost feel like my cloths don't get clean if I put them in their disgusting machines.
4)The "rooftop" pool is a joke, and now they are charging $10 for a "pool pass" for any guests! Ten dollars'!'! What if my guest only comes once'''''
5) At least one elevator is always broken. That leaves a 19 floor building with only 2 elevators...needless to say, you have to wait a loooong time for one.
6) The smell in the hallways is wretched. It is a cross between ethnic food, garbage, and B.O. I cringe just thinking about it.
7) There are 8 people living in a 2 bedroom apartments. I don't know whether they are international students or what, but they are constantly on the elevators going from floor to floor, and as I stated before, the elevators are sparse to begin with.
8) Management tries to swindle you with bait and switch scenarios. They say your rent will be one price, but when you go to sign the lease, it's another, or they add in additional fees.
9) The air-conditioning was not turned on until last week, and it we had quite a number of hot days before then. I am not sure why they waited so long...Oh yeah, because they're cheap.
