Resident 2013 - 2014

11/11/2014

We were in a rush to move and Nottingham was the only place we could afford that allowed caged pets. What a mistake we made! First of all we paid our rent for the whole year up front so you would think they would try to keep is happy but honestly once the office staff gets that money they don't give a damn about you anymore. We mostly dealt with Alana. She was nice at first but once we started calling with issues she turned so rotten and totally unprofessional. We moved in on a Saturday and after seeing the display model we were really excited to be living there. The staff talks up the fitness center and the indoor/outdoor heated pool. We got a 2 bed 1 bath on the 3rd floor. Our carpets were stained throughout the living and dining room. The door was loose and after some inspection on my part I saw it had been kicked in! The stove didn't work at all. The intercom system for the building was ripped out. The carpets in the hallways were so filthy. These were all things we dealt with on the first day there! Maintenence did come and fix things but because it wasn't an emergency (no stove and a broken in door) it had to wait all weekend. When summer came our central air didn't work at all. They came and "fixed it" at least 3 times before we gave up and got a window unit ($450) They installed "new" washer and dryer and they didn't work for a month. We had to take our laundry to an adjacent building. The storage units are not secure at all. We spent $30 on a good quality lock for ours and maintenance DRILLED it shut, even with our stuff inside. The dishwasher wasn't attached to the counter and fell out of it slot nearly breaking my foot and all our new dishes. Half of the equipment in the "fitness center" was broken. They decided to close the indoor pool cause not enough people used it. Some people in our building caught their kitchen on fire (lucky no damage for us) and it took the fire department about 10-15 minutes to arrive. Even after that there were no safety measures put in place or even a letter from management explaining what happened and an apology. The parking lot is a skating rink in the winter. The plow does a terrible job and no one salts the walk way, you're lucky if they even shovel it. The carports are so poorly lit, I never felt safe anywhere in the parking lot. People would put stuff down by the storage units instead of in them causing you to move their stuff to even get to your storage door. Homeless people were panhandling in the hallways of our building when it started getting cold. Some kind of sirens or loud --- cars/motorcycles are always going by all hours of the day and night. People let their kids play unsupervised in the hallways and there is so much yelling. The walls are paper thin. I could hear the people below me and next to me showering and everything. And here's the kicker! Like I said we paid our full year up front so we decided we were not staying there another year and put in our 2 months notice. They told us then we had till the end of November to move out. The end of October we get our statement and it says we owe $305...WHAT?!? So I called and talked to Alana who told me it was a typo. OK fine. A week into November Alana calls and says they messed up the paperwork we have to be out by the 15th or pay the $305. At this point we are BEYOND FED UP. The 15th falls on a Saturday so we asked if we could have through Sunday to get out because of working M-F gave us no time to move and Alana said no way we have to be out by end of business (4pm) on Saturday. This whole thing was their fault to begin with and now we have our moving time cut by more than 2 weeks and she absolutely will not work with us. Thank god we have good family who helped us and we got out of there a whole week sooner just to be done with it! This place is a nightmare and Alana is unprofessional and rude. RENTER BEWARE!!!
