Resident 2010

10/4/2010

HORRIBLE!!!!! STAY AWAY!

I am a student at University of South Alabama (USA). When I first moved to Mobile, AL (4 months ago), I didn't know any better. I didn't have any friends here or any family members to help me find a decent apartment to reside in. I was staying at a hotel at the time when this one gentlemen told me that he lived at Pine Bend. He told me how it was 5 miles from USA. 5 miles didn't seem like a bad idea to me so I (without any hesitation) went over to the Pine Bend office and filled out the necessary documents. Mind you I was charged all sorts of fees which seemed absolutely ridiculous to me because everywhere else I had lived throughout the US, I was never incurred these types of fees before. Needless to say, I went ahead and conformed to their standards/protocol. I moved into a one bedroom apartment. It's small and looks very outdated/beat-up. Their counterparts down the street are no different either (located on Downtowner). In any case, I figured it's for a year so what the hell. It's been 3 months now and I have always paid on time no issues whatsoever. One time however (on my 4th month), the weekend fell on 1, 2, & 3. On the 4th, I went in to pay for my rent and they automatically informed me that I was late and that I needed to pay an extra $50! I wholeheartedly argued that since it was the weekend after all and I had never been late (or past the due date) in the past. I even talked to the manager and she was very stern and wouldn't even try to understand the fact that I was always on time and that this was the ONLY and LAST time I was going to pay them on the 4th. Again, this would've never happened had this not been the weekend. They didn't even bother to bulge or try to understand the situation and simply told me to come back with an extra $50. Not to mention, this place is not even located in a safe neighborhood! Yes it's gated...but the visitor gate is always open wide because they can't seem to get the regular gates fixed! This type of so-called "security" is ridiculous! Anyone can come and go as they please. Ladies and Gentlemen, for your own good, stay away from this place. You don't deserve this type of treatment/headache. If I could go back in time, I would've stayed away from them like the plague. I should've done some research on here before even applying for residency there. Now I am stuck for another 7-8 months...which I am dreading. Please don't be the next victim.
