Please Take time to really Investigate before Moving In

Let's start from the end of my lease, it took me 3 months and about 20 phone calls before I received my Deposit back and this is after never being late on my rent in two years. Just like everyone else said from the outside it looked great but once inside it's a different story. When I first moved in rent was about $529 a month for one bedroom and you tolerated the little things. You paid for the water you used with metered readings (usually around $15). The second year came around rent went up to 569 and they started this shared water bill, which is a total rip off because you never see a bill they tell you how much your share of the water is for the month which my bill jumped up to $30 dollars which was crazy because I was never home and I didn't have a washer or dryer or dishwasher. Mildew was build up in the closets and I had sewage back up form upstairs come in my sink, and don't call maint because you will not see anyone for a couple of days but they can work on the empty apartment to get some other victim to move in. The laundry rooms were one of the worst things about the place, the so called locked doors were always open and when they weren't all you had to do to open it was turn the knob a couple of times and the door would open. The dyers they have half of them didn't heat up and the washers if you wanted hot water you had to turn the knob to cold needless to say I did my laundry at the laundry mat down the street. They have the upstairs apartment folks leaving trash down by the front door which is also right next to my front door and sure enough ducks will tear right into it and spread trash all around. I forgot to tell you about my winters there my electric bill soared to over $100 for one bedroom so next year plastic went over the windows and I didn't care what they said. Sure it's a nice location (near the beach and hilltop), But please anyone else take time to really investigate before moving in.
P.S
The only reason I stayed for two years is because I procrastinate and before I knew it I was trapped in another year.
