Would Not Live Here If It Was Free!

I recently moved out and now realize what terrible apartments these really are. Granted, apartments are not generally known to be quiet retreats, but this place is crazy! The amount of unruly children and teenagers stomping and yelling at all hours is truly insane! The police were called on several of my neighbors in the next building, at least two were taken away in handcuffs. A very annoying and unsettling thing to wake to at 2 am.
Parking is unreasonable, I almost always had to park really far away if I got off work after 5 pm. And the trash is way on the other side of the complex, no dumpsters close. I had to load the trash in my car. Gross!
As a result of having to park far away, my car was broken into. My alarm went off, but the police were not notified until I saw what had happened at 9 am the next morning. If I had heard my alarm, this would not have happened.
There is no security at this complex! No guards, no gates, no rent a cops, no cameras, nothing.
Final note: they took my security deposit and raked me for $200 extra, just like some other folks on here. I moved my things out and cleaned for two days straight, shampooing the rugs, scrubbing the walls, the place was spotless! Seems like a pattern with this complex. They know we can't do anything about it except write bad reviews about them on apartmentratings.com. Bunch of jerks.

Unfortunately we are not parents to the children in our Community. The Police were called for a reason and presumably they did their job. Parking is not unreasonable. There are several open areas to park. $20.00 buys you the convenience to park directly in front of your home. There are not trash receptacles all over our community. I am sure you would agree it is much nicer to look out of your window at something better than a full dumpster. -

You need to do your job by screening residents better, don't rely on the police to fix your mistakes. Get rid of problem tenants. Don't just shrug it off. And no, I would rather have dumpsters close than having to risk ruining my new car with a leaky bag of trash. Build a fence around trash areas like all other apt complexes. Try coming up with solutions instead of excuses. You owe it your residents.
