I LIVED IN THE FOSSIL RIDGE COMMUNITY FOR 6 MONTHS. I JUST MOVED OUT 07/31/2007 ACTUALLY. LIVING IN THESE APARTMENTS WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I COULD'VE MADE. EVERYTIME (WITHOUT FAIL) IT RAINED, MY APARTMENT FLOODED. THE BEDROOMS, THE BATHROOMS, ETC... A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! IMAGINE COMING HOME TO AN APARTMENT WITH THE CARPET COVERED IN WATER. ANYTHING THAT YOU HAD LAYING ON THE FLOOR BEING SOAKED AND RUINED. I HAD TO THROW AWAY A LOT OF STUFF. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR MY COUCH AND RUG TO BE CLEANED. I TRIED TO CALL THE LEASING OFFICE TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH MY ISSUE AND THEY WERE NO HELP. THEY KEPT SENDING OUT THE CARPET CLEANERS... WHO TORE UP THE PADDING AND JUST REPLACED IT WITH NEW PADDING. NOTE: THIS WAS A CYCLE FOR OVER 5 MONTHS... MY APARTMENT BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE MOLD AND I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH GEICOS, ANTS, SPIDERS, SLUGS AND MOLD GROWING ON THE WALLS, GETTING IN TO THE APARTMENT BECAUSE THEY WOULD PULL UP THE CARPET AND WAIT SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE COMING BACK TO GLUE THE CARPET BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND. THE CARPET PEOPLE WOULD ENTER MY APARTMENT WITHOUT PERMISSION AND IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ON MY FLOOR WHEN THEY CAME, THEY WOULD THROW IT ANYWHERE... SINKS, BATHTUBS, KITCHEN FLOOR... IMAGINE COMING HOME FROM A LONG DAY AT WORK TO FIND THAT YOUR EXPENSIVE SHOES AND CLOTHES HAD BEEN THROWN IN TO A BATHTUB OR SINK OR EVEN A DIRTY KITCHEN FLOOR! THEY WOULD ALSO TURN ON MY AIR CONDITIONER (TO THE MAX) AND LEAVE ALL LIGHTS IN MY APARTMENT GOING- WITHOUT MY CONSENT- I HAD TO PAY THE ADDITIONAL COST ON MY ELECTRIC BILL. THEY EVEN BROKE ONE OF MY VASES AND DID NOT LEAVE A NOTE TO APOLOGIZE OR INFORM ME THAT IT HAPPENED. THE LEASING OFFICE STAFF OR THE MAINTENANCE GUYS WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS OR HOW THEY WOULD GO ABOUT FIXING IT. THE FLOODING WITH MY APARTMENT GOT SO BAD, THAT I ASKED THE MANAGER COULD I BE RELOCATED TO ANOTHER UNIT (WITH THE MOVING BEING DONE AT THEIR EXPENSE) THEY WOULD NOT MOVE ME TO ANOTHER UNIT UNLESS I SIGNED ANOTHER 6 MONTH LEASE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE FLOODING WAS THEIR FAULT, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE FLOOD OR HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY ENDED UP LETTING ME OUT OF MY LEASE 1 MONTH EARLY INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CORRECT THE ISSUES WITH MY APARTMENT AND KEEP ME AS A TENNAT THEY WOULD PREFER TO LOSE A GOOD PAYING, LOYAL TENNAT I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH FOSSIL RIDGE AND THEIR MANAGEMENT STAFF WHO WERE VERY RUDE AND NOT AT ALL CONCERNED WITH THE PROBLEMS I HAD WITH MY APARTMENT. THEY ACTED AS IF I COMING TO THEM FOR ASSISTANCE WAS A BOTHER TO THEM. THEY DID NOTHING TO COMPENSATE ME FOR MY INCONVIENCES. I PAID MY RENT AND WATER BILL ON TIME. I WAS NEVER LATE. I WAS A GREAT TENNANT. I WOULD VE LIKED TO RENEW MY LEASE WITH FOSSIL RIDGE, BUT DUE TO THE WAY MY SITUATION WAS HANDLED I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE TO LIVE! THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO PULL UP ALL THE CARPET AND HAVE IT REPLACED. THERE IS NO WAY THAT CARPET IS STILL USABLE
