Disappointing Apartment

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 10/14/2009
Years at this apartment: 2009 - 2009
 
We just saw this over the internet and we thought the apartment looked big and the pool looked amazing. We just went over the signed lease over the phone coz we wanted to move to SC with an apartment already and not going over the hassle of staying in a hotel. Turns out, we should have stayed in a hotel!!!

The electricity is really really high. we pay $160 a month and only the two of us in the apartment; and the it was even so hot upstairs so we had to buy an electric fan coz we are always sweating especially that we moved in the mid summer.

When we got here, there are a lot of bugs (cockroaches) and some centipedes in the bathtub! So we had to get insecticide right away. We experienced leaks over the air conditioner too twice. The 2 sinks in the 2nd Floor bathrooms were always dripping so we had to call maintenance again.

One time we had poop in our front lawn and the neighbor who owned the dog didn't even cleaned up the mess just because we weren't there when the dog pooped.

We keep getting messed up mails too.

The closets are so awfully small. We had to spend additional $150 for closet extensions.

The office and the maintenance are really courteous though. They are respectful but the apartment is really really old and it is so obvious that the walls and the doors had been repainted over and over again. There are many paint stains on my carpet.

There no shelves in the bathroom so we also had to buy a house over the toilet in order to place our toiletries.

We are not renewing our lease, and we have done our assignments to hop from one apartment complex to another and do some real inspections.

We are not really saving anything even though the rent is reasonable because of the so many many things we had to buy to make the apartment livable.

By the way, the pool just looks big in the internet but it is about the size of 6garden tubs. It is also unclean and has been closed since we moved in here.
