Resident 2006 - 2007

My experience living at the courtyards has been strange. It seemed like a nice enough place, but the staff is full of ----. When we originally met with someone in the office, we agreed that we wanted the two bedroom townhouse for 570 a month. When the time came to sign the lease all of a sudden it was going to cost 620 a month- because she assumed that we wanted the BIGGER townhouse that had extra cubbard space... its only me and my boyfriend- why the hell would we need more space, and why would she assume we wanted to pay more without ever asking us? Well out option was sign the lease and pay 620 a month- or wait until another townhouse was available.. and since we had just handed over the keys to our old place there wasnt really an option. None of our neighbors said hello to us. All they said was to make sure we lock our downstairs windows when we arent home or at night. Even the mail lady has warned me three times to keep everything locked up. It's nice that people show concern but can I get a hello or soemthing? Everytime we leave this punk --- teenagers like to stand up the curb and stare us down when we drive by. What haven't they seen white people before? Halfway through last month I get a letter saying I have to go to court and I am being evicted for nonpayment of rent. The only issue was I paid my rent. The office "LOST" my money order. Luckily I kept my reciepts or I would have been out almost 700 dollars. Umm the other thing no one told us- we cant control our heat. The wonderful lady in the office never once mentioned this too us. I found out AFTER we signed the lease and I couldnt find the thermostat. After calling the office I found out all we can do is open or close our vents (not that doing so makes a difference when it's SMOLDERING hot upstairs). The other thing no one mentioned is that an air conditioner wouldn't be included. The sample townhouse they showed us had one, but once again we found this out when we signed the lease. We have to pay 20 more dollars for an air conditioner. So lets see... My rent went from 570 to 640 unless I want to be miserable all summer. I just moved here in november and I'm already waiting to move out. I spent the whole winter sleeping on the couchbed in my living room because its so F'ing hot upstairs, even with the windows open that I wake up sweating my --- off. Another group of punkass teenagers who live in my apartment strip have decided its a great idea to shoot off guns for no reason. About once or twice a month they just shoot them off. Ummm excuse me but that doesn't sound like the safest idea. Seriusly let's grow up. Another thing I am unsure about is the "inspection" that the city conducts once a year.... Are they inspecting my apartment to make sure the building is safe.. or do they plan on going through my ----? Something makes me think I never should have signed that lease.
