I have rented many apartments in many states being a contract employee, but have never hated a place this much. About 8 mos. into my lease, I was notified my buildings plumbing was to be replaced. We were made to remove ALL items from both bathrooms, certain walls, laundry area, most of the kitchen and leave our homes open for a FULL week 8am till 5 pm for an entire work crew who was sub-contracted. I am a night employee who was displaced from my home while a MAJOR reneovation took place. I understand the need for repairs, but this was rediculous. I asked for alternate housing, pro-rated rent, or a hotel voucher to sleep, and was ignored!
If everything else was wonderful, maybe I could have overlooked this, but thats not the case. Insulation is practically non-existant, and the floors are squeaky plywood that is not secured well (you hear every step a neighbor makes) Windows leak in the rain, appliances are old. The manager told me I could not park my small covered boat in the rear lot where plenty of parking existed, even though there were already four boats there. And read the fine print on the lease too...60 day written notice required even though your contract may have expired, or rent is raised to whatever they choose to charge for another 60 days..beware.

This Place is discusting. Most things are broken. It is unsanitary and generally unclean. Many foul smells. My parents rent this apartment for me and the staff as made calls to them claiming I am unreasonable. The Assistant Manager has made false slanderous statements behind my back about me to my parents causing undue family drama. Staff has intentionally caused me family drama. I also have found rodent feces in cabinets and Laundry area. This has been a miserabe experience. My apartment is discustingly filthy. Staff is condeacending, I have been lied to and taken advantage of. I am miserable here. I'm stuck! Upon move in I have found, live and dead insects. Organic matter stick to walls shower and counters. There was old food particles in the kitchen sink. The garbage disposal contained a moldy furrry substance. Feces stain nex to toilet in bath. Bath toilet sits at aprox 12degree angle.....very uncomfortable. A/C and Hot water did not work when I moved in. I can tell what color soap the past tenant used because it is still in the tub. I found a full drawer of past tenents bellongings including his past tax returns. Air Conditioning unit emits foul smell and dust when it is switched on. Staff has been very combative. DO NOT RENT HERE. I hope you do not experience my hell. I am stuck in a 6 month lease. Many promises have been made, none fullfilled, often lied to and absolutely no follow up. Staff is unprofessional and has slandered me behind my back. DO NOT RENT HERE. Many fire code and safety violations are obvious i.e. wires cut to smoke detector / Black mold on walls and sink fixtures / Fire extinguisher was due for inspection two years ago. Unstable staf with no honest communication. DO NOT RENT HERE!!!!!!! Commons at Bellemeade / Bellemeade Farms / Archstone at Bellemeade. I you want to pay luxury prices for ghetto living this is the place for you.
