I've been a renter for one reason or another for 20 years. Great location, nice green belt behind the apartments.

Then once they started taking our outlandish rent, we disappeared off the radar and our simple complaints took weeks to be answered.

Our neighbors are perhaps thee loudest neighbors I have ever experienced. Lots of nice people however, you just have to deal with it. It's a rental right'

The biggest problems here are the following:
1. Noise 2. Speeders (mostly tenants) 3. No night security and 4. TRASH

Rather than having a large trash recepticle per apartment building, they have 3 small ones for 4 buildings! (Great planning LarchStone) They only dump it twice a week. It's horrible and unsanitary, and lemme tell ya twice a week is not enough. That means that the 3 mini trash bins are usually full to overflowing and piled high, usually 3 feet high over the rims with garbage on the ground. They refuse to close the lids. That means that on days that are above 65 degrees, you get flies and open trashpit smells wafting into your rooms. Appetizing aye' After several complaints, the trash haulers (onsite fellows) said no, we aren't going to close the lids because the tenants put the garbage on the ground because they are too lazy to open the lids. Fair enough, so just dump the damn things 3 times a week! It should be every other day!

People, I know alot of the reviews here are from disgruntled tenants, take it with a grain of salt, but it really is bare minimum here. They spend a boat load of money on landscaping however so it's pretty deceiving. I can vouch for the previous reviewer and their plumbing not working, and to that I point you future unsatisfied tenants to this law:

Google Washington State Revised Code of Washington

RCW 59.18.070
Landlord ?? Failure to perform duties ?? Notice from tenant ?? Contents ?? Time limits for landlord's remedial action.


If at any time during the tenancy the landlord fails to carry out the duties required by RCW 59.18.060 or by the rental agreement, the tenant may, in addition to pursuit of remedies otherwise provided him by law, deliver written notice to the person designated in *RCW 59.18.060(11), or to the person who collects the rent, which notice shall specify the premises involved, the name of the owner, if known, and the nature of the defective condition. The landlord shall commence remedial action after receipt of such notice by the tenant as soon as possible but not later than the following time periods, except where circumstances are beyond the landlord's control:

(1) Not more than twenty-four hours, where the defective condition deprives the tenant of hot or cold water, heat, or electricity, or is imminently hazardous to life;

(2) Not more than seventy-two hours, where the defective condition deprives the tenant of the use of a refrigerator, range and oven, or a major plumbing fixture supplied by the landlord; and

(3) Not more than ten days in all other cases.

In each instance the burden shall be on the landlord to see that remedial work under this section is completed promptly. If completion is delayed due to circumstances beyond the landlord's control, including the unavailability of financing, the landlord shall remedy the defective condition as soon as possible.
