Great View , But you're just a Number

Years at this apartment: 2001 - 2003
 
We have been living here since 2001 and have moved units within the building.
When we first moved in we had AMAZING deals and free tanning bed as well as a small but decent gym.
The tanning bed burned and was turned into a closet. The bike broke down and was never fixed. The gym equipment (treadmills, wights) is in sad need of upgrading (forget about trying to run on the treadmill!).
The company thought it would improve things by firing the manager and hiring a new live-in one. Both managers have done their best but the company is still the same and things are getting worse. The elevator breaks down, the garage door breaks down, cars are broken into and rent will increase.
I once was not able to go to work because the garage door broke down but was fined $50.00 for paying 1/5th of the rent late because I had no money because my pet fell from the 5th floor because there ARE NO SCREENS. I wrote a concerned letter to the company that manages this apartment and never got a reply.
While this building can rightly boast of an AMAZING view and quiet living, I am sad to say that it has lost its charm. One year ago the tenants got along perfectly, now we are all just strangers.
It is quiet though.
If you want to be a stranger to all and a number to the company, by all means rent here.
