Resident 2010 - 2011

5/7/2012

where do I begin? We moved in when I was 7 months pregnant with our first child. The aprtments were smelly but we thought if we cleaned the carpet, the smell would go away. We were moving from iowa city so I could be close to my family when we had the baby. Secured access?? A friggin joke!! People always propped the doors open allowing my husbands crazy ex to harass me. The smell never went away. We lived on the 3rd floor and were not permitted to have a grill but those on the 1st floor could and the smoke goes in ur windows and stays in the apartment!! We complained and they only made people move from right under the balcony... Still a problem!! The hallways were nasty!! Dirty, dark and we often found human fieces in the washer so we went to the laundrymat. Our daughter died. We had to allow them to walk through our house to see if they wanted to renovate. I was not even seeing family yet I had to have 6 grown men that were complete strangers walking through my apt talking about measuremnts. No sympathy or empathy at all!! I just lost my baby daughter and they want to walk through our apt. They have others with our floor plan!! Then we started smelling spray paint only on the weekends when management was gone. We complained as it made you light headed and cough up black ----!! We were told that we would be notified when the cause was discovered. We had to call back and were told that many others complained and that they were resurfacing a bathtub. Kinda funny since you don't resurface a plastic tub with those chemicals!! So I'm pretty sure they were cooking meth in an empty apt!! Then after our baby died my hubby ex gets in and writes my dead daughters initials on the hallway wall and puts a maternity ward sticker from the hospital where she was born. Since apts don't have surveillance I very well can't tell the police she did it if I didn't see her with my own eyes!! I'm pretty sure nobody else would tag those initials in purple sharpie with a maternity ward sticker but if you live here the police assume you are bad criminal!! Saw a woman getting beat up by her bf while cops were at apt for something else. They didn't do anything when he forced her in the truck and took off while she was screaming no!! My hubby and I were mortified!! Then my hubby got a job out of state!! We explained our situation and was told by sherry that as long as we gave two months notice we were fine. We gave our two months and we moved out leaving the rent paid for 2 more weeks!! We move to cali at end of december we called to make sure they got the keys and that everything was good!! We were assured that everything was fine. Fast forward to end of april and they are calling us stating we owe them $1600. Wtf?!?! NO WE DO NOT OWE You ANY MONEY!! They are charging us $200 to clean the what was already filthy carpet and we put rugs down all over thr place so they are nuts!! Plus putting new carpet down costs that much and that is what they need to do but before we moved in they did nothing so we shouldn't have to pay now!!and we were being charged to replace the blinds when we left them perfect I had curtains hung over them!! They tried to make us seem like the bad tenants they have when we were good!! Also RIGHT after we moved out...im talking like 2 days after we left...my neighbor and good friends were robbed by the people that lived directly beneath them on the 2nd floor. While they were gone, the 2nd floor tenant climbed up the balcony and broke into my neighbor's 3rd floor apt and took everything!! Again they walked everything down the hallway and stairs. No video camera!! So the police wouldn't do anything!! Again$! Sont move here!! Even if you are law abiding you are viewed as a criminal!! It diminishes ur reputation!! It is NOT SAFE AND THEY TRY TO STRONG ARM You!! They notified us not when we moved out but almost 5 months later and then they are saying that you have to pay within 10 days or it goes on ur credit!! Well I'm not paying so they can suck a ----!!
