DONT LIVE HERE.

I ABSOLUTELY HATED MY LIFE. PAID EXTRA PER MONTH FOR A/C THAT BARELY COOLED THE APT AND BROKE. WALLS ARE PAPER THIN. UPSTAIRS NEIGHBORS PLAYED MUSIC UNTIL 4AM EVERYDAY. I NOTIFIED THE OFFICE AND THEY SAID CALL THE POLICE BUT I DIDN'T BECAUSE I AS MUCH AS I HATED MY NEIGHBORS, I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A JERK. I ENDED UP FAILING A CLASS BECAUSE I COULDN'T SLEEP AND WAKE UP FOR MY 8AM CLASS. RENT IS WAY OVERPRICED. THERE IS NEVER ANY PARKING. I WOULD HAVE TO PARK ON CAMPUS AND WALK BACK TO MY APT. MAINTENANCE DOES MOWING AT 8AM ON SATURDAYS AND DOESNT CARE ABOUT CARS IN THE PARKING LOT. IVE SEEN THEM KNOCK ROCKS AND OTHER DEBRIS INTO THE PARKING LOT HITTING CARS. THE APT ITSELF IS RUNNED DOWN. EVERYTHING HAS WEAR AND TEAR. THINGS DON'T MATCH PROPERLY. 1ST DAY OF MOVE-IN, MY WATER DIDN'T WORK. 1ST WEEK OF MOVE-IN, HAD TO REPLACE THE SINK. MY FRIEND WHO ALSO LIVED HERE HAD A DISHWASHER WHICH IS EXTRA MONEY PER MONTH, AND IT WAS BROKEN. WOULD FLOOD THE ENTIRE KITCHEN. APT GETS HOT AS HELL DURING THE SUMMER. ELECTRICITY IS RAN BY VT ELECTRIC AND THEY OVERCHARGE LIKE CRAZY. YOU DONT HAVE AN OPTION

WORST PART

I PAID 700 FOR A SECURITY DEPOSIT. I CLEANED THE APT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. I RECEIVED 50 BACK. THEY CHARGED 125 FOR STEAM CLEANING, 100 FOR PAINT, 150 FOR CARPET, AND OTHER BS FEES. WORST YEAR OF MY LIFE.

I saw your note online and wanted to reply. I too had some issues and all of us sound like the issues are the same. I am tired of people taking advantage of our hokie kids. I am a parent who is moving forward to obtain an attorney and would like to speak with many of you to include in a single case. I will need information in order to properly file a claim against the Management Firm behind Oakbridge Apartments for charging us misc fees and keeping the deposits plus some in order to fix normal wear and tear on the units. Can you help me? My son is still down at Tech, but this issue has not gone away from last semester. Please drop me an e-mail or call me so we can chat about this place and the issues that you had. It would be very helpful to prepare a case for all of us versus one of usĀ? Thanks
