BUGS, THEFT, & POOR MANAGEMENT!

AVOID AT ALL COST!!There is a major BUG problem. Crickets infest the grounds and get inside the apartments in large numbers for 5 months a year. I have experienced 3 seasons of the cricket plague. Expect to see inside your home 6 to 15 crickets a day. You can squish them, but they do not die off with poisons or perimeter sprays.

--THEFT, this IS a problem. My vehicle was stolen right out of the parking lot!! There have been 3 other cars stolen from the complex within the last 7 months that I know of. It is fairly common to see CAR WINDOWS BROKEN OUT from vehicle burglary.

BAD MANAGEMENT,The office does not care about its tenants. They are more concerned with getting new suckers in here. I have a bottom floor apartment and the unit upstairs left their large dog out on the patio all day. They allowed the dog to urinate there. This DOG URINE ENDED UP ON MY PATIO FURNITURE on a weekly basis for 6 months. Complaints to the office and tenants yielded NO RESULTS. Thankfully they did not sign a longer lease...

SMALL PARKING SPACES AND WILL TOW, They are so small that you can not get out of your car if the adjacent spot is occupied and within the lines. EXPECT DAMAGE TO YOUR CAR. My new car, to replace the stolen one, has received many dings and paint chips from this issue. I tried to park farther away from the apT and park slightly over the line as to allow safe exit the car. THE APARTMENT TOWED IT, AT MY EXPENSE!! Sound fair to you''''

FINALLY, my lease is almost up, but I requested to go month to month on my rent for one extra month, because I am bound to this city by work for another month past my lease. When I approached the office about this they told me, YOU EITHER SIGN A NEW LEASE OR YOU WILL BE EVICTED .... I have never been late on rent, have put up with a lot, and need one extra month and they act like I m some kind of jerk for asking. The contract gives the option to go month to month in it but they have refused to honor the contract! I could fight this, but motel 6 is worth the money for that last month. Avoid this apartment complex at all costs! Good luck if you are going forward with this move, youll need it.
