If you like roaches and poorly maintained apartments, this is the place for you! My husband and I recently moved in on july first and have had an exterminator out three times already to no avail. The management was very friendly at first even going so far as to bring us roach traps, but as the problem has progressed they are not offering any further options. I have been in contact with the health department because we cannot afford to break the lease without paying the two months rent. We have also had problems with the hot water, the dryer, all of the locks, the garbage disposal, the bar in both showers, the power outlets (none of the lower outlets actually work), and the maintenace women are completely rude. My personal favorite is the fact that the vent fan above the stove leaks rusty brown water every time it rains! Take my advice although some people have had great luck with their apartments, they are the lucky ones.

Contact an attorney. Great Atlantic is in violation of the VA renters rights laws/act. You can get a copy of it from the state corporation commission in Richmond. And, as a warning, always be there when maintenance is in your unit. They stole from me when I lived there.

Wow, you seem to have bad luck with apartment! I am a former tenant and was very pleased with my stay at the apartments. Have you reported all of your issues to the office or maint? They were always very good about taking care of any issues i had. Roaches...i understand roaches. i hate them as well! But anywhere you live you will find roaches..i own a home now and see them. Theyre a part of nature! Good luck to you and i hope your stay gets better!
