Horrors of a hell hole

Ill make this quick and point out everything that is wrong with this dump
Water based paint on walls: If you get a smudge on the wall, prepare to pay the cleaning fee. No matter what you do, they will charge you, straight from the management s mouth. Try putting water on the walls to wipe away a smudge, the paint will come right off leaving an ugly stain.
Mold on the window sills: The window siding is so bad that when it rains the water comes through the window, if you don t wipe it immediately it gets underneath the horrible paint and causes mold to grow. Don t bother bringing it up to management; they will just blame you for it.
Infestation: Don t like spiders' How about silverfish' Well, if you live here you will have to deal with both. Keep your windows closed and your porch door shut, they will still find a way inside. Guess what happens if you tell management, they blame you.
Maintenance: Some of these guys are good, but if you are a girl be careful, several have a tendency to be a little bit too friendly with you. One of the first things my girlfriend said after we left that dump was, I am so glad to be away from the creepy maintenance guy.
Amenities: Pool is only open for 2 months, usually has puke in it. Gym has 3-4 poor quality cardio machines and 1 weight machine. No one wipes them down, leaving sweat all over the seats and handles. It s only open from 9-9, and is usually occupied, very uncomfortable. On the plus side the pond is nice, save for the duck feces that is always lying around.
Hallways: Well, the garbage is conveniently located next to your apartment door. The apartments are located inside a building. Everyday the stench will rise up through the garbage chutes into the hallway. Like the smell of day old fried chicken' You get to smell it every time you step in the hall.
Don t forget the asbestos! My favorite, they let you know that each apartment ceiling is lined with asbestos. They say it won t affect you since it s above the ceiling, but I certainly don t enjoy the thought of a carcinogenic material above my head while I sleep.
Lighting: Tree s will block your window. You will get no sunlight in the place. All your light must come from stand up light. Obviously can t hang any lights because of the asbestos. The place is dark and gloomy. Doesn t make it any better with the drab white walls, the box shape and the gray carpet.
No assigned parking. It s nice to come home from an exhausting day only to find that the only parking space available is on the other side of the lot. Hope you like walking long distances to get to your place. It s also excellent when you are moving and have to lug 100 lb couches.
Leasing staff: I though this over for a while, trying to think of the best word to coin the staff here. I think the most appropriate would be to call them pretentious. These people are the most elitist, cynical people I have ever met. Something as simple as asking them for a package currently being held for you in the office will incite a cynical and uncomfortable response from them. Oh sorry guys didn t mean to interrupt your conversation. Their office is strictly for show, no one will stay in there to watch the big screen TV, drink the coffee, or eat the cookies because the staff will rush to you and get you out of there as quickly as possible. Moving out will be a blast, they will do what they can to take all your money. Don t bother fighting them on it you will just get the wonderfully snide response, Sorry, there is nothing I can do about it. Nothing you can do' No, you are the property manager; there is nothing you want to do.
