This might be one of the most poorly managed rental communities in the Phoenix Chandler area. MEB must stand for Mediocrity. They cut corners during construction; cheap materials were used and there are defects everywhere. I've had to repair a dozen defects myself in the first few months, including fixing gaps in the roof stack vents that were allowing scorpions to enter my unit at will. Management is never in the office. The community is falling apart. Dogs are barking everywhere, there are piles of dog poop EVERYWHERE ... it's hard to believe these units were brand new when we first moved in. I hate to think what this place will look like in 3-4 years. Need maintenance? Good luck. You might see them after 5 complaints. It's easier to fix yourself. Only 5 months into our lease, and our washer, fridge and dishwasher are now noisy, rattling piles of junk. MEB went super cheap on the appliances. I really liked the idea of individual units and small back yards when we first looked at this community. We fell in love with the place ... when it was empty. But that is now a curse, because in conventional apartments, tenants are held to community standards. At Avilla Homes, there are no community standards. Tenants use their tiny backyards as personal dumping grounds. And most tenants use it as dog dumping grounds. It seems 75% of tenants have big dogs and none of these people have any sort of social etiquette. Because they leave their dogs in their tiny backyards barking all day and all night. And then the stench from their yards is putrid. I'm sandwiched by two inconsiderate renters. I've filed 20-plus complaints about the barking, awful smell and flies. Management does nothing because there are no community standards in place to keep tenants from living in squalor. No joke ... tenants never clean up their yards. Most yards are filled end to end with dog poop. We're not talking big yards -- maybe 35 feet by 12 feet. Dirty, poorly managed, fly-infested, smelly community. I can't wait until my lease is up. Worst rental experience ... I'll never rent from another property run by MEB Management Services.
