This place is the worst. I guess it has been like this for years and they change their name from green meadows to leland pointe for that reason, but this place is still the worst I've even been.

The facility infrastructure of this place is just mediacro but poor mantainace make it unlivable:

1. Hallway, it smells very bad, because this place have no air vent, whatever your neighbour's smell is in it and I never saw anyone clean it. In the last period of my lease time. I have to use a towl to block the gap under my door to keep the smell come in my unit. I have to hold my breath when I come in from outside in the hallway and to open my door.

2. Landry room is very bad as well. only one washer/dryer in one building. If someone put their landry in the machine and they forget to take it out, you have to wait for a day to use the landry. Often I spend my whole night go up and down the landry room to check if it is avaliable.

3. The Garbage dumpster is always a mess. Later they build a fence around the it to cover it up, but it is even worst. Coz all the mess is now inside the fence and you have to get in the fence to throw your garbage.

What make this apartment worst is the management! They just try to get every penney out of you! They will give you big discount(A couple of month rent free) when you sign up the lease. But they will try to screw you when you lease is up to renew. Don't be suprise it their new lease price is 20% higher. Never expect any security deposit return to you. They will send you a big bill when you move out for so called "Damage", even you room is perfect clean and everything is working. When you move in, they will give a list of how much you'll pay if you break anything, but when you move out, they will give you another letter with same items on the list just the price is way high, I saw some items are 5 times more. On their list, they will charge you more than $100 if you lock youself out of room! When I move out, I was asking them if I can move at first day of the next month in the morning instead of last day in thist month, they said" of course you can do so, we only need one month rent(which is their new price, much higher than current price) plus $100 month-to-month fee" What a rip off!

There is a police substation on this property, but the place doese not feel safe. The fire alarm on my next building go off all the time. On the surface they have pool and fitness, but none of them are usable. The pool is noisy and overly crowded. The fitness place is way small for these many people and only open in their business hours. I have to wait half hour or more to get the treadmill each time I went there.

I also completely agree. It sounds like you lived in my building! We also ended up getting a huge bill for "damage" and a cleaning bill! I spent an entire day scrubbing that place down, plus I vacuumed and shampooed the rugs in every single room. Every nail hole was filled, everything was taken care of. The bill ended up being several hundred dollars (they wanted $150 for the cleaning alone!), so we sent them a letter asking for a document listing precisely what damage was done and what needed to be cleaned. That was in July and we still have not heard back from them. We didn't get our security deposit back either. I am so glad to be out of that place!
