Worst Place in Shreveport

I moved into Willow Trace in 2002 and lived there all of 4 months. I had moved from Washington and was guaranteed that the apartment would be ready; however, on arrival, I discovered that the door would not lock, the carpet was soaking wet, there was a wet spot on the ceiling under my bathtub (townhouse), a cupboard full of ants, and there was still food in the refrigerator. The staff was courteous enough to put my family in a hotel for the night, stating that they would work overnight to fix the problems. <br><br>The door lock's face plate would not screw in because the wood on the door jam was rotten. To fix the problem, the maintenance staff molded me a slot for the lock to slide into out of spackle. Despite complaining several times it remained that way until I moved out.<br><br>As for the wet spot on the ceiling, it was so soaked that when I reached up to touch it, my finger went right through it. To fix the problem, maintenance spackled the hole left by my finger. They played around with the drain on the tub and told me to call them if any more water leaked through.<br><br>A couple of days after my arrival, I noticed sunlight shining through the baseboard on an outside wall. On further inspection, the wall was rotten and bowed and had come loose from the foundation. When I reported the problem, again it was fixed with a can of spackle.<br><br>I complained constantly about these issues to no avail. When I began contacting a lawyer and the housing authority, they offered to move me into another apartment at their expense so they could fix the problem correctly, but shortly after began asking me to move myself when they discovered how much it would cost. Ultimately, they let me out of my lease. <br><br>After I moved, I discovered they rented the apartment to some other poor sap only a few weeks later, having never fixed the wall or door.
