MOVE HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK

And by 'at your own risk' I mean only if you are a huge idiot and enjoy pain and suffering.
This Gables establishment is hands down the worst run business I have ever come into contact with. In fact, I haven't even lived there in a year and I still feel so strongly that I have seriously considered coming back to picket the new Gables properties going up in Houston.
During our stay at Gables our property was *coincidentally* broken into, trashed and everything stolen on the same exact day that maintenance was there! How about that' My roommate had her car bashed in my the gate to the property, which frequently didn't even open, and we both had our cars vandalized. Our friend at Gables actually had all 4 tires stolen and his car left on cinderblocks during mid-day.
Moreover, Gables filed eviction against my roommate and I more than once when they LOST OUR RENT!!! Imagine coming home after a long day at work and finding an eviction notice on the door for literally no reason. Their response' "Oh I'm sorry we actually do have your rent - we must have confused you with someone else". Another friend called one day to ask if they had overpayed rent and if they had a balance - the response' "I'm not really sure, it's really hard to keep track of that information here."
And lastly...having not lived at Gables for 7 months today I received a lovely email from a credit collection company for over $600. I have never been contacted by Gables via phone, email or mail since I moved out and am starting to wonder whether they will continue plaguing me for the rest of my life''''''''''' If I were a lawyer I would personally take them to court. The real shame is they know its not worth it for people to hire an attourney for $600 so they get away with this ridiculousness time and time again.
Don't live here. It is quite literally the biggest mistake I've ever made.
