Too pricey for the headache

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 12/27/2007
Years at this apartment: 2007 - 2007
 
When I first moved in, everything sounded perfect. There were some minor things that I could deal with. Like the window, cabinets, and above the vanity mirror needed to be cleaned. I am not talking about a little dust, I found someone's license above the vanity, and the dirt was so encrusted in, I couldn t remove it. Most of the window would not open because they painted over the filth instead of cleaning it. I hated the oven, no matter what I cooked it set off the alarm. It needs to be replaced.
But what got to me the most were the towers. The first couple of days I moved in, I parked my truck in front of my garage. But that paper temp parking pass they gave me to put on my rear view mirror, it fell off. Truck went missing, found it dusty at their lot. The leasing personnel said she will deduct it from my next month s rent because it was not my fault. Of course never saw the deduction. About 4 months later, I found out that my parking pass does no cover parking in the regular lot, only in and right outside my garage. The garage door needs to be fixed; it was having trouble going all the way down. So while it was being fixed I had to park my car in the regular parking, again it got towed. Again, the leasing agent told me they will refund me the amount I had to pay to get my car back, never saw the refund. And last, when my lease was up for renewal they sent me a letter stating that my apartment was going to go up by 500.00. Again, so not worth 2K for all the headache.
