Resident 2012 - 2013

6/12/2013

Although I thought my apartment was a decent size and in really great, updated condition, I can't recommend it due to several very negative issues with the management, particularly Gayla, the property manager. I only lived here 1 year and had to relocate for school. I plan on moving back into the area again once I've completed my degree. When I need to rent in Jasper, I would never rent here again because of all the negativity. Your rent may seem low but water and electricity are not included, as is nothing else. The only amenity you will get is the pool which can be found crowded with screaming, potty-mouthed children without adult supervision (They did build a fence around it--alas, in the fall--so maybe now this could have changed). In winter snow, the parking lot will not get cleared in a reasonable time, so be sure to plan on shoveling your parking space yourself in addition to scraping your car and allow a lot of extra time to drive to work. We had a few inches of snow accumulate and it took them over 2 days to finally come out and clear it. Parking in front of my apartment was impossible because of the thick ice so I had to park far away near one of the nursing homes. If you're a young person, like me, be sure to understand that even if you do nothing wrong, they will have a problem with you just because you are young (I mean in your 20s). When I asked Gary, the maintenance man, to look at the washing machine because it wouldn't take quarters, he came to my door and said it was fine and that it was working. Again I could not do my laundry because of this, until the older neighbor informed them it was not working. Then he told me he emptied it, when prior to that, he treated me like an idiot who didn't know how to use a coin-washing machine. The neighbors were extremely nosy in my particular building so stay far away (and i mean FAR, far, far away) from that building. They are there because Gayla doesn't have a problem with them smoking in their apartments since they've lived there for 10 years so they get to do whatever they want. (Other landlords would not put up with that unless ALL apartments are specified as smoking apartments. Here, it is supposed to be entirely non-smoking). The "management" plays favorites with tenants. This means if you're new, you won't get any preferred treatment until you've lived there for a while. The neighbors were, again, extremely nosy and liked to cause drama (Welcome to Jasper, my friends) so they create something out of nothing. They frequently went to the property manager and told on me saying I was causing a bunch of problems when all I actually did was go to school and work and was quiet when I was home. And when I say quiet, I mean it. Coming from a college town and being used to living in apartments with college students that partied and having a more relaxed environment was what I was used to, so I did not anticipate on being discriminated against because of my age and/or youthful appearance. But you should anticipate it! Don't let Ms Gayla fool you with her fake smile cause it's a bunch of bullsh*t. Once they have your deposit money and signature, all you'll get is complete negativity. I am a good tenant, in fact excellent. It's been 30 days since my move-out inspection and still I haven't received my refund for the deposit. I had the apartment professionally cleaned and I signed the paper for the inspection. When I called them, they gave me the runaround crap saying I'll get it when I get it in the mail from the accountant who writes the checks. Hmm, wonder why it's taking them so long?
