Wasn't the best time of my life

I lived in Kingston Gardens for only a year with my fiance. The apartment was small with only 1 bed and 1 bath. The bedroom closet was way to small for 2 people, really too small for one, too. The living room area acts as your dining as well making that whole area really cramped by the time you got all your stuff in. The bathroom was tiny and the medicine cabinet was gross. There were a lot of crcks and paint chips all over the place. Was not kept up very well at all. I began to wonder why I moved in only after a short period of time. When we first put the deposit down and scheduled to move in they told us they were going to paint and clean, etc. We holded off a week to completely move in even after we paid for the week waiting for them to do what they said-paint and clean. We finally just moved in and they never painted and didn't appear they cleaned as well. From the time we moved in an outlet was broken and we called 3 times to have them come fix it. It was never fixed. The blinds were broken when we first moved in and it took them forever to fix those-but they did get fixed. We moved in at a bad time because they were redoing the cabinets and fixing the walkways. So we had to leave by 7am every weekday for like a month. That really sucked! We had noisy neighbors who didn't know how to park and blocked cars and walkways all the time which I know isn't the management's fault but it definetly appeared they rent to anyone. When the first year was up our rent was already going to be raised another $50. We told them we wanted the outlet fixed-among other things, especially with the rent raised and they still didn't fix the problems-so we moved out.
