Resident 2010

4/6/2010

We moved here last year and from the day we moved in we had issues and wanted to leave. We now only have a month left and couldn't be happier. First major issue...BUGS! Spiders, rolly polys, ants, millipedes, crickets, lady bugs, roaches, and bed bugs. The first 7 bugs we'd tell management about they said it's because we were on the ground and the buildings old. Ok that may be true but there are ways of preventing this....caulking HELLO! When we found out we had bed bugs I was livid. I just had my son and was scared he'd get bit. I told the office so they'd know and they initially started blaming us. I wasn't pointing fingers just making them aware. It may have been us bringing them in but there is no way to know. Because bed bugs can lie dormant for months before they become active. They can live a year with one feeding. They could have been here when we moved in who knows. They can travel between walls and throu electrical outlets. So they could have came from next door. You never know I was just mad she started blaming us and not willing to help us get rid of them. I finally had to yell at her to have an exterminator come. He came and spray, we had to bag stuff up wash it vacume and steam everything. It was horrible! Once they were gone we got a bill for the exterminator. WTF?!?! They never told us we had to pay. Next issue..MICE. We told the office about them and they gave us sticky pad which didn't work. I had to buy real rat traps that kills them. Next issue....GAS & ELECTRIC. The rent is cheap 575 and pay on time 545. Sounds good? Wrong you pay between 150-300 a month. Should just get a nice apartment and it would be equivalent. The reason is cuz the windows are paper thin and the units are so old it takes more to put out. I recommend before goin anywhere to call duke and get an even billing. Maintenance takes at least a week to respond. Next issue.... The paint. They just paint over anything. I saw a sticker on the bathroom wall that was just painted over. Or hair stuck in the paint. It's gross. When we first moved in we had to fill out a report that we noticed were wrong with the place. I filled out a front and back sheet. This shows they don't do much between tenants. Next issue...CARPETS. They weren't replace and gross. And I don't know how many times we've slipped or fell down the stairs because of. Initially we picked out our apartment and the move in date came and it wasn't ready so they gave us another one that was "better off" than the other. Ridiculous. We got here the stove wasn't connected and the hot water heater wasn't turned off. I hope you save your self the trouble. We were at stringtown in Florence and loved it. Only moved because we wanted a duplex. Big mistake. Stringtowns rent was 700 but utilities were 40 a month, so 740 a month total. Here at town and country in Erlanger rent was 545, utilities were 150 to 300, so 695 to 845 was bein put out to live. In a crappy place at that!! Were goin to colonial village and they are huge, nice, and decent price. 580 a month and utilities are 60 a month. I used to live there 3 years ago. Literally the rooms are huge. The walk in closets I could fit I king size bed in!! Please look at your options and call duke first!!!
