Resident 2012 - 2013

2/25/2013

I have been living at these apartments for just under a year. I must say they are in better condition than others I have stayed at but that does not excuse what I have gone through the past 12 months. I really wish I had looked over more of the reviews for this place before I made the commitment to move. To start at the beginging, when I called, the price I was quoted for a two bedroom was more that $100 less than what I was actually made to pay each month. When I went to speak with them I was informed of the correct price and was told there were no open apartments for me to look at but that I would have the chance to see the apartment I would be moving into before I signed the lease (witch was fine with me I just didnt want to go in blind). My move in was delayed because they were "cleaning" the apartment. When I was finally allowed to come in and see the apartment the carpets were horribly stained but I was told that it would be noted that the stains were already there and I would not be charged for that when I moved out (that remains to be seen). There were also several spots on the ceiling in the front bedroom where the roof had been leaking. They told me it had been fixed and was no longer leaking (well it was still leaking, and still is). There was also water damage under the kitchen sink but I was once again promised it had been fixed (it had not). The nails in the floorboards and railing on the porch had backed out (witch I have cut my feet on several times) and the entire outside of the unit was covered in spiderwebs. Just past the thresh hold of the front door, the tack strip is showing and will give you several holes in your feet if you make the mistake of walking over it with no shoes on. The day I moved in the sliding blinds in the livingroom fell and almost hit me as I was bringing in boxes. I told them about it and they had someone come out and put them back up. They hung them very off level and I have had problems opening them since. One week after I moved in while running the dishwasher my kitchen floor flooded due to the leak under the kitchen sink. I have not ran it since because I can not seem to get anyone to come out to fix it. I moved in In June and when the fall came I wanted to open the windows but was unable to get anyone to put a screen on the livingroom window, even though I requested one in wrighting 4 times. Still no screen on that window. I also made a report the day I moved in about a large hole next to the knob on the outside of the main door (a very large spider lives in there and has bittin me quite a few times when I have entered the apartment). There have been several occasions where the police have been there for one reason or another including when I had to call them because my car had been broken into, and again when somone was trying to break in my apartment (luckaly my boyfriend was there and ran them off). One month I went to pay my rent and was told by one of the maitnence guys that the office was closed that I would have to come back Monday. Monday morning I got a call from the office saying that if I did not come in and pay in the next 30 mins that I would be charged a late fee. I told them what had been said the Friday before and the lady got very snappy with me saying they were open all day and I did not need to try to make up excuses. That particular woman has always been very rude and i absolutly hate dealing with her. The other woman on the other had is always very sweet and tries to do what she can. Another good example of the rudeness from the office is, when I realized my lease was comming to an end I went up there to speak to them about my options weather I renewed or moved. I asked if I would be able to keep my current rent rate if I renewed my lease because I moved in during a special rate. The nice one started to say something and was cut off by the rude one saying if I wasn't going to be able to pay the normal amount then I just needed to move out. I had no problem paying the normal amount I was just wondering what would happen to the rate when/if i renewed. Needless to say I WILL NOT be staying there again, EVER! 12 months of living there with very large spiders, police in and out all the time, rude management, poor repairs (if any) to documented problems, and excuse after excuse to why the repairs have not been made has made me a very unsatisfied tenate. I have had several complaints outside of the unit also. My neighbor always leaves their trash sitting on the porch for a week or more at a time and during the very hot months this past summer it would smell horrible! I tried to speak to them about it and was meet with the door in my face, tried to speak to the management about it and all they did was leave a note on there door that stayed there till a storm came and blew it to the other side of the porch, witch I then picked up and threw away a month later. The entire complex floods when it rains hard including the sidewalk leading to my building. Earlier this month I place some balloons outside for my baby shower so my friends could find the building, not 20 minutes after I put them out there they had been removed (strings and all, so I know they didn't just pop). $20 worth of hellium balloons gone. Parking by my building is a nightmare. I have to rush to get there before 8pm to be able to get a spot anywhere near my building. After the break-in on my car and attempt on my unit, I bought a pistol to carry with me when I leave because I no longer felt safe having to walk when I can not get a close space. I do not recommend any single woman living here without a security system or weapon. If anyone still decides to live here after reading all the bad reviews then more power to you, and good luck.
