Roach problem is not as visible during the summer time but when it gets cold out, the roaches basically take over our apartment and our lives. I put a glass of water on the sidetable at night and every morning when I look at the glass, there would be about 2-4 tiny roaches floating on the water. Whenever I turn on the oven, a bunch of them would come out and apparently the oven is their home. The roach problems are unbearable these past few months and we're glad that we are moving out in 2 days.

Another thing that I notice these past two years is the increasing rent rate and it's very tricky in a way because the management doesn't tell you about the raise in rent till about 3-4 weeks before your lease ends. Our current rent is $736 and a few weeks before the lease ends, we got a notice that if we want to renew our lease then the rent will be over $800 which is a pretty step increase and if we haven't had planned to move, we would've been stuck in this tiny roach hole with over $800 rent.

Security is almost non existent because even though only tenants with the main door keys can access the building, people just let whoever want to get in, get in.

Fire alarm is another problem. The two years we are here, we have experienced about 5 fire alarms and had to evacuate the building. We had to evacuate once at 3am and had to wait outside for an hour and no fire was found of course.

We are certainly glad that we will be out of this building in two days and just want to warn people of the roach problems (although i don't think the higher floor aparments have the same problem) and just be careful with the short notice rent increase.

Overall, Belle Haven Towers certainly has been an experience, not a very good one unfortunately.
