You get what you pay for

I have had numerous problems living here. I rented the smallest unit to save money. Here is a list of problems I have encountered. 1.The leasing agent(who no longer works here) made me a contract for 12 months instead of a the 6 I thought it was but the problem was fixed. 2.The parking was a VERY tight squeeze unless parked on the East/West sides of the buildings. 3. My car had a deep scratch I found one morning from parking in a tight squeeze and I was unable to find the other car. 4. I noticed outside my bedroom window the floor storm drains overflow when it doesnt rain, I have seen this for periods of days at a time and dont know if the problem is fixed yet. 5. Every so often the dumpsters will be overflowing with garbage and tenants dont have the decency to pile it on, rather they would throw it aside. 6. The walls may be too thin, talking in my living room means talking with the people passing by my front door. 7. My dryer has had a horrible squeak since living here. It was fixed once, and broke the next day. I now wash back home with mom. 8. My washer dropped puddles of water on the floor and I have cats. Im glad none of them were electrocuted but the mess was more just annoying than anything. 9. Now the interior carpet, after 1 month the carpet began to look flat and after 3 months you could see all the flaws from where it was patched/fluffed up and the carpet could be lifted by pinching a spot almost anywhere. 10. I was walking one day and stepped on something under the carpet that made a crunch(like a bug). I backtracked and felt for it and it was no longer there. It is safe to assume bugs live under the carpet. 11. The bugs that entered my apartment: Snail, Slug, Centipede, various small bugs, and the biggest was a scorpion. 12. I was stung by this scorpion in my own bed while asleep!! It was the most intense pain I have EVER felt. I was ready to jump in the car and go to the hospital had my boyfriend not be scheduled for work that morning. 13. I wasnnt given a gym key or mailbox key after signing the lease. It took a while to get the gym key but the mailbox key was given within a day. 14. In alcohol terms, this area is known as a wet area. Homeless men and women live under the bridge near the Quicktrip and ask for money whenever you see them. 15. I notice all the ------- people that live in this community get together weekly and grill outside(which is nice). Myself, I can live without the ------ music and the loudness they offer. 16. I noticed my bathroom cabinet was crooked as well as the walls in my bedroom. I had a square painted board I tried to put in the corner of my bedroom (to place the cat food bowls and water bowls), the walls didnt fit to the square board. 17. Before moving in, I was told my bathroom was resurfaced(toilet, bath tub). After I moved in(for about a week) I smelled the resurfacing agents used. It made me nauseous just being home. 18. My door's bolt mysteriously stopped working. It just began to spin and I was trapped inside. I had to let in maintenance through my window but they didnt come until the next day. Im all for having the maintenance guys have their own time but if they were a bit more professional they would have gotten that fixed the same day. 19. I think the apartment staff is more than accommodating when it comes to "trying" to help you. 20. The gym is a waste of time. Maybe only 2 things work. I only used the tredmill. I said, "you get what you pay for" because that is exactly the case. This was my first apartment and the day I moved in I loved it. Within weeks I began to realize the property itself isnt that great. My parents recommended this place. They said they lived here in between moving houses and the only problem they had were bugs. My parents told me to let a few bug bombs go off before moving in. I didnt take their advice but you should if moving here. This place is located about a block away from the lake and there are rivers around the lake that breed buglife. PS. If moving with animals, I would say to not mention that. Management is accommodating to animals.
