Resident 2004 - 2006

First of all, let me begin by saying that all of the negative reviews that have been posted are nothing but the TRUTH! When you first talk to the landlady about the apartment, she tells you that it is no problem at all to break the lease if you need to move before the year is up. Well, apparently that is a LIE. Most everything she tells tenants are LIES. We found this out because when we put in our 30 day notice to vacate, she notified us that we would have to pay 2 1/2 months rent to properly cancel the lease. It is written in very fine print in her little homemade, illegal lease, in my opinion. She also notiifed us that we hadn't paid our last month rent, in which we had records to prove otherwise. She charged us a non-refundable $1,000.00 deposit to have a cat. I only found out by reading another tenants review that they only had to pay $500.00 for a cat deposit-how is that a fair business practice? Well, this money is free for her of course, plus the $575.00 regular apartment deposit that you will also never see again. The only time you ever see her is when she needs money...she rarely repairs anything. It is true, she is rude, snotty, and judgmental. Our first experience with maintenance was that it somehow took 6 months to replace a bathroom fan...3 months to replace a dishwasher...1 year to repair a stove...promised new curtains and carpet-this never happened in the 2 1/2 years we lived there. No apology or anything on the amount of time it took to replace these. It is her standard operating procedure. She never answers her business phone when you call to report a repair request...so most of the time it never happens. If she ever does answer, she quizzes you down to make sure you aren't lying to her...about a repair on her building? The central air conditioning does not work in the summer...it never shuts off if the weather is hotter than 80 degrees in the summertime-we had an electric bill of $215.00 for one month just in this little apartment! When we finally got her over here to discuss it, she alleged that 65-70 degrees was simply too cold, and that is why it doesn't cool. She insulted our mentality by actually bringing over this outdoor thermomator that one would use on their back porch to determine, of course, if we were lying to her! Now that is great maintenance, isn't it? We still don't have air conditioning that works properly. She knows the a/c repair people personally, and when he came over he blamed it on us and simply changed the filter as a solution to the problem. However, we have ALWAYS changed our filter once a month!<br>She doesn't mind, also, bothering you with stupid gossip about other tenants...she can't be trusted. She claims a high standard in treating people equally, as you can see this is not the case. She also charges everyone on the way out the door...no matter how well you try to please her...you will owe a bill at the end and she manipulates you into paying for unfair charges by threatening to put it on your credit report. You decide for yourself, is this OKAY???? Rent at your own risk....as the old saying goes, the first time shame on you...the second time shame on me!!!!
