Resident 2015 - 2016

8/25/2016

While I have enjoyed living here for the most part there are several things that I have found problematic. As a dog owner, a major issue I've had to deal with is discarded food particularly chicken bones being left on the grounds. Another issue are people who leave their dogs essentially living on their balconies. There are at least two people immediately by me who leave their dogs there all day and night. These dogs also bark at pretty much anything they see. Despite notifying management, these pet owners continue to do this. Another major issue is bait and switch in advertising. When I originally signed my lease, the property was advertised as having both a fitness facility and being a gated community. Neither of these are true. The complex has never had fully functioning gates. Just cause one of them works doesn't mean its "gated" when the main entrance is not. The fitness facility was never open since I began living here in August of 2015. The management staff never mentioned that they would be doing "renovations" or given a firm date as to when the facility would be open. If you look at some other apartment rating websites, management comments include giving a June 2016 finish date. Its August and its still not open for tenant use. If you look at their website, they get away with falsely advertising these amenities by saying at the bottom "Community amenity subject to availability." This can be seen here: http://www.blueisleapartments.com/amenities.aspx They also put the following language, in small print of course, to again save their asses so they can continue to sucker you into an apartment lease promising amenities and then failing to delivery on them: "Owner reserves the right to set the days and hours of use for all Amenities and to change the character of or close any Amenity based upon the needs of Owner and in Owner's sole and absolute discretion, without notice, obligation or recompense of any nature to Resident. Owner and management may make changes to the Rules for use of any Amenity at any time." This is listed under the "General Conditions for Use of Dwelling, Property and Recreational Facilities" section of the Community Policies, Rules and Regulations Addendum on the lease. And of course, they continue to advertise their property on different apartment hunting websites as having a fitness facility and being a gated community. In some cases, they even use the same photo of the old fitness facility. So if you are thinking about renting from these folks, keep in mind that the only thing you are really getting here is the apartment. Don't decide to move here cause the amenities seem better than your other rental options.
