Resident ā€¢ 2003 - 2006

Never again: waiting for my lease to end

I've been here since 2003 and due to starting new job could not get into any other place (new in area). Initially things SEEMED fine but upon move-in carpets were not clean, cob webs in kitchen cabinets, linoleum in kitchen is sitting up at edges, front windows do not close completely so there is a constant breeze, windows on outside had not been washed in ages, the patio doorknob on outside looks rusted it's so old, and patio needed painting. Yet I know when I move out they will keep my deposit and claim it's to claim and repair --- should've cleaned before I moved in. Asked for new windows several times for the living room which supposedly they ordered last winter but because I was out of town a few days they felt they could not go in and replace. Now the window crew (whoever that was) is no longer available to replace them, so another winter with HIGH electric bill because my heat goes out the window. Oh, they have only offered to replace the filter once in the 3 years I've been here; normally I must go and purchase one myself and install it. Very slow in doing any type of repairs or maintenance within apartments --- oh, looks very good from the outside, just don't examine the inside too closely. A lot of young adults probably due to university here; so if you are a little older definitely don't look here. The only office personnel who has ever been truly pleasant is Lacey Drake --- hats off to her --- besides Vivian who is no longer here. They also changed the contracts and rent due dates AFTER you're here --- supposed due to a previous error --- rent was not late until after the 5th initially; now it's late after the 3rd. Huge late fees and immediately go to courts for eviction on the 10th adding additional costs. Also want 60 day notice which I've never heard of in my life and I've been around a very long time now and lived on both coasts as well as north and south, and no exceptions even for job transfers or marriage. They lock you in because people are moving from here like crazy whenever their inital lease is up. I plan to move by summer 2007 myself when my lease ends. Oh, construction guys hang out here in groups sitting all over their trucks and vans and the grass areas in the evenings and on weekends. I used to walk the complex for exercise but no longer; they make me feel unsafe so I go other places to walk now. They hang out drinking beer and you can see the cases lined up on the tailgates and grass. Again, DON'T move here!
