Pay the extra

This has been one of the biggest headaches I have ever encountered when living in an apartment. There are some serious complaints I have had with this place and would advise anybody looking to rent here to spend an extra $40 and live somewhere else.

1. The parking section has cement slabs and when driving over them they shift creating a loud 'thud' noise. The thud also causes a slight vibration which has consistently set off car alarms. That can be rather frustrating at 12pm when you are trying to sleep.

The interesting thing about it was that the residents made the person turn the sensory down. It was done by leaving mean notes on the car. This was due to management not wanting to get involved.

2. The walls are very thin and you are able to hear the other residents. Not too much of a problem until some get really loud and then trying to talk to management accomplishes nothing.

3. Updating your bike tags is useless. I had current tags and mine still got cut and sent to charity.

4. Maintenance can be problematic. The handle to our sink was sticking really bad. Well they tried to do something about it, but now it turns both ways. We are having to turn it to the middle to actually get it to shut off... and it still sticks.

5. The fridge was not level and causing the doors to not line up properly. This led to air leaking out of the fridge and freezer. That translated into a bigger electric bill. We asked numerous times for them to check on it. They did come look at it, but did nothing about it. I finally got tired of hassling them about it and leveled the fridge myself. Doors lined back up and cut our electric bill back down.

6. The hot tub is great when it is not closed due to chemical levels.

7. When it snows the ramps are covered along with the entire upper parking deck. There is very minimal effort is put in to do something about it. It just turns to ice making it very dangerous.

8. It has mold and to complain about it makes it your fault.

9. The cooler we have high limits and does a poor job of cooling the place.

10. We have been here less than 2 years and our monthly rent has increased by 10%.

11. Laundry can be hard to do with their on site facility. Just this weekend we tried doing laundry. Out of the 12 washers 4 of them were out of service. There is a continual problem with the units being out of order.

I would say if I had the choice to pay an extra $40-$50 a month for a better apartment I would have done so. I would seriously look at paying the extra before coming here if you are debating between a few places.
