Resident 2008 - 2010

6/11/2014

I lived here for about 2 years and it is not a good place to live. I lived in two different units in two different buildings. Not long after moving in, I had just finished taking a shower when the pest control man knocked on my door. He ASKED if I wanted him to come in and spray. Still in my towel naturally I declined. When the next rent was due I get a notice on my door saying that because I declined the pest control I will be charged a fee. I was never told this was a rule before and being a fresh out of school young adult living pay check to pay check and not given any sooner notice to save for this charge, I didn't have it in time. The office said it MUST be paid with my rent, not separate, or my rent is late. I wasn't able to pay on time so an extra $50 late fee was added. I ended up having to borrow money to pay an extra $75 in rent all because I didn't want a strange man in my home while I was in a towel. Then one day they shut the water off for my building without any notification. I was messing with the faucet trying to figure out the problem and without realizing it, left it in the on position while I walked to the office. When I returned my bathroom was flooded and belongings, such as a boom box, destroyed. When I asked them why they do that with no notification to the tenants, they didn't care one bit, it wasn't their problem. Also, my car was broken into. I leave nothing in my car to draw attention but for some reason it happened and everything was trashed. The next unit I lived in was a very noisy area. The neighbors directly next to us had music with high bass playing ALL DAY and the ones in the next building had visitors coming and going and only hanging out yelling outside ALL NIGHT. I called the office several times and the police several times and of course nothing changed. We were on the second floor, our bedroom window above the outside AC units which turned our room into a sauna. It was so hot we couldn't sleep in it, we ended up turning the living room into our bedroom. Both units had a roach problem even though they spray once a month. I can't tell you how many times I opened my silverware drawer to several roaches scattering. My husband got orders for deployment and when we explained to the owners they said it won't be a problem they just need a copy of his orders. The location was kept very secret my husband didn't even know where he was going until the day of so we explained to them how he has no orders on paper to give to them before we move but we would be happy to send the paperwork to them when we got it. They said it was fine and that's what we did. OVER A YEAR LATER, we get a notice about an outstanding charge that was being counted against our credit by McDonald Assets. Naturally the name didn't ring a bell it had been so long. After further investigation we discover that the owner had charged us with breaking the lease early, remaining rent and damages that were apparently so bad the $500 deposit didn't cover, which wasn't true we kept it in good condition. The total was nearly $2000. After gathering even more information we realize that the owner acted as her own collection agency instead of going through a real one, probably because the charges weren't valid. We ended up getting all charges dropped because what that woman tried to do was so beyond ridiculous it couldn't stand. If you have any sort of pleasant living expectations, DO NOT LIVE HERE. I understand some place are not the best and that's fine I wasn't expecting a fancy condo, but being inconsiderate and money hungry is not okay with me.
