I am a former tenant, one year ago next month, and am saddened to hear that problems there are the same and worse in some parts. Not surprised though. I had a professional cleaner come in and clean, bought new blinds, painted and replaced all bulbs and they still are trying to bill me over $800.00. I am in a dispute currently about this with them. I remember not a weekend went by that you did not see moving vans in and out of the place. The staff also go into your apartment and steal jewelery and other things. This was proven and one of the people fired or moved to another pinnacle loctaion. The manager and staff out and out lie to the tenants and then evict them and deny any deals made. Pierce County Housing Authority and the management do nothing for the section 8 cheaters, as I have complained NUMEROUS times to them. They raise rent like crazy depending on if you keep your mouth shut about their errors, lack of security and lax repairs. The last rental increase, due to my many letters to HUD and Housing Authority and the Attorney General, etc.. THEY RAISED MY RENT $103.00!!!!!!!!!!! Of course I moved. I took all the precautions to ensure I did not get charged repairs and cleaning expenses and then I got the close out bill of over $800.00, and that is after they took out my deposit!!!! I am still waiting for them to provide proof, ie; pictures, reciepts, etc... I have proof and they stil are sending me to collection. DO NOT MOVE HERE. YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY AND CREDIT AND THEY WILL SLAUGHTER YOU WITH THE REFERRAL CALL FROM FUTURE MANAGERS AND/OR BANKS. They lied to them making it near impossible to find a place to live. I, thankfully, saved the letters they wrote me begging me not to move, and finally a manger took me in. I showed her all the negative reviews and the letters from the manager saying I was a good tenant, and they still lied and ruined my future dweelings. You WILL have some sort of violence or theft if you live there. You will be lied to by management leading to some sort of problem with your living there. You will have garbage littered all around your buiding. You will have drug dealers and drug users all outside doing their business and threatening you. You will have to put up with noise and repair issues. You will finally be forced to move out to save your sanity and wallet. You will have a bad referral from them. You will have to pay AT LEAST $800.00 upon move out.

I can see by all the responses that the crap is still going on there. All they care about is making it so miserable you will break your lease to run out of that hell hole. Therefore, they get to keep your deposit and rent for what your lease requires. They let drug dealers run the place! Your kids are not safe. Your cars are not safe. You children's bikes WILL be stolen. Your kids WILL be beat up by the low life's that live there. MOVE WHILE YOU STILL HAVE CARS, CAR WINDOWS, BIKES, AND KIDS. They do not care about anything but money. PERIOD.
