Resident 2020

NEVER MOVE IN THERE!!!! I have lived in THE PARK-LAKESIDE for one year and I can promise that every word that I say is 100% true, and I hope the information that I provide could help you a little bit to avoid live in this unpleasant place. 1. For the roommate preference. The management team will not even care about your preference. I choose to live with UGA students. Then I matched with a single mother with an 8-year-old girl in one single bedroom, which is not permitted by the office, because the office told us that only one person could live in one single bedroom. In this year, August 2020, the COVID-19 is extremely severe. The earliest check in date was August 5th. I paid $369 for the rent of August, and also the deposit of $738 and went to the office to check in. Just as I checked in, I found my new roommates, she rented only one bedroom, but live with one teenager girl and one boy and one girl, which means that four people live in one single bedroom. The office said that they could transfer me to another unit, but I had to pay $250 for the transfer fee. I'm so angry, because this is not my fault. The office never takes the roommate preference into consideration, they just put all the residents together, so they don't have to clean more rooms, even though their cleanliness means nothing. I moved out on the same day I checked in, but the office said that I have to pay for the whole year rent which is $4428 then I could leave. They didn't even try to help me solve the problem. They just want me to pay! Pay! Pay! Pay! Pay!!!! Finally, I found a guy to take my lease, the office still asked me to pay the $200 relet fee. They never returned me back the rent of $369 that I paid for the Aug, even though I didn't live there for one single day. One more experience from my friend. She matched with a roommate who live with her husband and their 6-month baby. She needs to share the bathroom with three of them. My friend is allergy to smoke. Yes, even in this situation, the office assigned the smokers to her. She coughed a lot and cannot sleep, but the office just never replied. 2. The problem of cleaning. You can never image how many roaches there is in the lakeside. We asked pest control service several times, but it never works. We tried almost all of the products in the market to kill roaches, but they are still active. Even when I'm sleeping, the roaches are on my body to wake me up with screaming. ROACHES EVERY WHERE. In your bed, in your shoes, in your closet, and also in your food. 3. The management. They never try to help you solve the problem; they just want you to pay more money. As I said in the first problem, no matter who lead to the issue, if you argue with them, they never reply; if you try to move out, oh sorry, please pay extra money. The management group is in a big mess. If you try to argue with them in the office, they are rude, loud, and keep talking to stop your conversation, they even don't listen to you. They talk loudly to cover your voice, to stop your words. I promise every single word that I said is true. Please do not try to move in this place, even though the price is low. But you should know, cheap is cheap. It must have reasons that make it so cheap.
