Absolute worst management ever!!!!!!!!!!! I have been a tenant at Skyline for the past two years and I can't bear to live in this Rat infested Apartment any longer. The rat issue has become ridiculous. I am a woman in my mid 20's who expected good security, cleanliness and a caring management when moving in. The security is awful, as they are sleeping half the time or on the phone. The cleanliness is unbearable with the huge RAT infestation and stench you have to smell to make it to your car in the South Tower. I literally had to buy a surgical mask to wear, just to walk back and forth from the garage.

FACT: There are leaks in the basement ceiling of Rat urine and dead Rats. Rat urine odor is proven to be harmful to your health (especially children). The parasites they carry,(such as fleas, mites and worms) spread many diseases.
It is also proven that a Rat bite can cause Fatal Rat-Bite Fever.

I have seen rats in my unit and it boggles my mind when I think of the money I am paying to live in this filth.

My advices to people that are thinking about moving into Skyline Towers.
DON T DO IT.

My advice to tenants who unfortunately already live at Skyline Towers. FIND A WAY OUT OF YOUR LEASE WITHOUT PENALTY.

Ways to get out of this lease is to write a notice to.
1. Report the problem via e-mail
2. Call office of consumer protection at 1-800-552-9963 (have them be the mediator)
3. Call the Fairfax City Health Department
4. Send a notarized notice to management that if the problem is not fixed within 21 days that you have a right to terminate the lease within 30 days under the Virginia Tenant Rights
5. If the problem is still consists after the 21 days and you have all the written proof; you have a right to move out without penalty.

I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would even consider moving into Skyline Towers, which by the way should be renamed Bottom-Pits Towers. It is the worst of the worst of any apartment building that anyone has ever been to. Don't let the walk they do on your tour of the building fool you. The leasing office (incompetent personnel & manager) walks you through the lobby to your apartment (DEMAND TO SEE THE BASEMENT OF SOUTH TOWER DURING THE VISIT) and in the process greet everyone they see in the elevator. But, wait till you finish signing the lease, they completely ignore ALL your concerns and couldn't care less. They won't even greet you when you are standing there in their office talking to them. Anyway,here are just some of the issues tenants confront in this building: SKYLINE TOWERS 1. RATS, RATS, RATS and more RATS and then the mice ALL OVER THE BUILDING. 2. BUILDING SECURITY are a bunch of lazy good for nothing men who couldn't be bothered. 3. BREAK-INS in the parking garage with over 25 cars being hit one night. 4. Foul smelling hallways and basement walkways to the parking garage - reason being rat urine in the ceilings 5. Live and dead flies all over the basement walkway - who by the way have probably been sipping on rat urine and now fly to sit on your shoulder and head???? 6. Rats running overhead while you work out in the gym 7. COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT / INCAPABLE/ UNINTELLIGENT/ UNCARING PERSONNEL & MANAGER IN THE LEASING/MANAGEMENT OFFICES - they probably can't even count the money they are collecting from the tenants each month, which is why their conscience allows all these conditions to exist while they continue collecting. Can't imagine that any caring or competent person would allow this in a building they supposedly "MANAGE" - if they can't manage the building then who needs a manager???
