We have been here just under a year and live on a first floor apartment. I would like to clear up the information on the following:
(1) Management is NOT THAT BAD! - Debbie has to be one of the most accomodating office managers that I have encountered. We recently had an issue rather late at night that we came home to after being gone all day and Debbie herself called and helped us with the situation. Not many mangers will do this.
(2) In response to the raccoons....You're going to find raccoons regardless of where you live. I know that they at least have tried to catch these (as well as other pesky animals) but when you live near a city with dumpsters around, they are going to show up. Unless they are going into your apartment and digging in your personal trash, stop complaining -- they could be rats or mice in your apartment! Personally, I think that those are worse.
In the end, if you are seriously that unhappy (or were that unhappy) you should simply move on to another apartment. Good luck finding anyone as accomodating as Debbie is. I think that you will find that in the end, you will miss where you were.
