Resident 2011 - 2012

10/22/2012

We had a big community of friends that wanted to live close by each other and we all moved into Chevy Chase. Each and every one of us have had issues. Where 3 of my friends lived, they had mice running around the central air pipes. When they asked the manager to fix it the crew ended up sealing off the hole where they were coming in...but it sealed some mice inside who died and stunk up the place. And they were still setting mouse traps and catching others. My friends also had a cockroach investation problem that the apartments kept "spraying" to get rid of but it did nothing. It got so bad my friends ended up living in my living room for 3 weeks until they were able to end their lease. Another friend found bed bugs in her apartment and found out that part of the contract was a bed-bug addendum so she had to pay the cost of extermination (and hours of cleaning her apartment and washing/drying ALL of her clothes/bedding/etc. Not to mention throwing away some furniture). Another friend had her apartment broken into and because the perp had punched in the glass window, it left blood stains. I personally haven't had it so bad. The worst is ants. No matter how clean I keep things or how sealed up I keep food and anything else, I still find ants. And I can't use my A/C because it reeks of smoke that the apartments say shouldn't be happening. So since it shouldn't be happening they don't acknowledge that it is happening anyway. I put a window unit a/c in so I wasn't dying of heat but that put me in violation of my lease. Luckily the cooler months are rolling in and I can finish out this damn lease. You can't make this stuff up. I wanted it to work out here because the location was good for me but I'm miserable here. The water runs hot and cold throughout the shower, shelves in the kitchens and closets are bowed and ready to fall apart, the mailboxes are barely hanging in there, the exercise room always has machines that are broken, the hot tub doesn't work, rent keeps increasing even though the living situation is not improving, and the staff is not at all helpful even though they wear very nice smiles.
