this is a very beautiful and very expensive place to live. we agreed that the amount of money we would paying would be worth it to have the security that comes with it. however wee have been here since october and since the beginning of novembe weve had issues with the residents upstairs. the myrtles has a contract with a corporated housing company called oakwood and they rent oakwood about 12 apartments in the complex. oakwood decides who to put in the apartments, not the myrtles. not very fair considering what they put us through to be accepted. they wanted to know everything short of what we ate for breakfast as kids. :) anyways, we have had 3 different sets of tenants above us and all of them have been problems, not only for us but for the myrtles as well. the first 2 sets were constant partiers. they threw beer bottles and ciggarette butts and other trash from the second floor balcony. they were up at all hours. the first set left and were immediately replaced with new people. the office up front had no idea. they didnt know anything about the new people. and did nothing about the noise and garbage. then came the thrid set. 2 adults. 3 childre. 2 bedrooms. 3 very loud and heavy children. when i say heavy i mean so heavy that the stomping and running knocked pictures off my walls. very big problem for me. i havent slept since october. nor has my husband or my daughter. weve complained numerous times. nothing has been done. for 2 months weve been told my the fromt office that they are there over occupancy. that they will take care of it. its gotten so bad that we walked out the door last week and my 4 year old daughter witnessed one of the children peeing in a bush next to building. where's mom' holding it for him. what did they say in the office' we'll take care of it. well my husband and i decided we would just see what wee could do about moving out. getting out of our lease and going somewhere else since we dont believe we are getting what we should be for the amount of money we pay. they say they cant let us out of our lease without paying the lease break fee. almost 7000. ridiculous. it seems to me that they have broken the lease by allowing the noise and disruption to conitnue. my lease clearly states that it is a violation to commit any of the prohibited behavior stated in the lease agreement. examples of this prohibited behavior: a. loud or obnoxious behavior, b. disturbing or threatening the rights, comfort, health, safety, or convenience of others in or near the apartment community, etc. such abusive constitutes a default under the lease by the resident and the owner has the right to terminate the lease. so since nothing has happened and ive been dealing with this since november and it is now may i believe that they have broken the lease by not eliminating the problem. now im stuck in a noisy expensive apartment that i no longer enjoy being in. i just wanted there to be some honesty in a review about how you will be treated if you have a problem neighbors. they will blow smoke up your ass and nothing will be done about it.

There are a couple of things that need to be done today. First, a written letter to the office, requesting they react and respond within ten days. Also fax this letter to the corporate managment office of the site. Keep a diary of the daily, nightly and weekly infractions. dates times, infractions, etc. IF they do not respond. When rent is due, drop a letter your are escrowing your rent with the court. This must be done on the FIRST. On or before the first. They then must go to court and answer as well for there non compliance to the lease. They may have a contract with oakwood, however, they too must make the new residents follow the rules, and they should be addressing a letter to oakwood, and the occupying resident. IF they fail to do this and act on this, they are negligent. so there is sometlhing that can be done , howeever it does start with letter writing to everyone
