Resident 2011

7/3/2011

I got a great rate here for a four bedroom with the girl I had lived in the dorms with, so we did the roommate matching thing. We got paired with two girls, then randomly switched our apartment so we had to other roommates. We ended up in the building/apartment farthest away from the bus stop as our side could be. When we signed our lease we were told we were signing it early enough to be able to live close to the bus stop. These were minor things. Before move in, I was told to pay first and last months rent at move in. I recently discovered they supposedly sent a letter to every future resident and their cosigner telling them it was actually the first two months rent. I don't know of anyone who got this letter. We ended up with a wasps nest living in the light fixture on our balcony. It was so bad we couldn't go out there. After three requests, I finally bought bug spray and took care of it. This was honestly the biggest nest I've ever seen. I've seen bee hives smaller than this. It was awful. No one ever came or contacted us. The towing, if you're not in the correct spot, is literally across the street. Look for the trailer home. It costs $200 to get your car back. I have a four bedroom and one of my roommates moved out at the end of the semester. They didn't move anyone else in, and we are now paying electric for four rooms with just three people. Another of my roommates broke our glass coffee table earlier this year. she called to see how much a new one would be, and a few days later I heard a knock on the door. When I opened the door, two maintenance guys literally pushed past me, set down a new coffee table and left. Said roommate seems to expect us to split the cost of the coffee table (which is wood and doesn't match anything else) because they just brought it in before she paid for it. I actually haven't been living there for awhile because that roommate, one of the assigned ones, is such an awful person. When I stopped by to pay rent, I was told the AC leaked and messed up the two floors below us. I don't know if the apartment plans on holding us responsible or not, but once again maintenance men came over unannounced and barged in. Our Dish goes out frequently and for no reason, as well as the internet. One roommate couldn't use her wireless printer because she didn't have internet in that corner of her room. And be sure to check the lease you sign, even if someone comes in and rapes and kills all of your other roommates, you're not allowed to break your lease. Everyone in the office but Andre was rude, and now he's gone. Watch out particularly for Ashley. They don't send you a notice for packages for days, though its in their book in the office (I used package tracking and picked one up the same day it was delivered, but got a notice for it several days later still). And they're always putting the wrong mail in our box. While it says they allow pets, they don't if you're in a 4x4, for some unexplained reason. The train comes by and blows its horn at any time of the day or night. Its miserable. My list of complaints could go on, but I think you get the picture.
