Resident 2006 - 2007

1/29/2007

This apartment complex is HORRIBLE. Do not live here if you can help it at all. Where do I begin? First, I could not view the apartment that I was renting before I rented it. The paperwork process was a nightmare. <br>There was construction over the summer and there were days I was told that I would not have access to my apartment between 8 AM and 7 PM. I was literally kicked out of my apartment that I was paying rent for at 8 AM. <br><br>Any time you need maintainence done you can count on waiting at least 3 weeks. My washing machine was broken in August and was not replaced until September. A week after I first notified them I called to check the progress. I was told that a "custom part" had to be ordered and it wasn't in yet. I still hadn't heard anything a week later, so I called again. This time I was told that they had the part all along but it had they had just found it because it had been misplaced and they were going to come fix it in the next couple days. Four days later I finally had a note that they had come but that the part they had wasn't going to fix it so they needed to get a whole new machine. The new machine came in about 2 weeks after that. While the guy was installing the new machine he dented my wall and pulled up part of the carpet. <br><br>Next, the parking lot is completely unsafe. There are people walking around that make me feel uncomfortable, especially as a single female. In October my boyfriend came to visit me and his car was broken into and several items were stolen. Then in December he was visiting again and his car was stolen!<br>Not to mention the fact that parking is a nightmare. Many times people have been parked in my assigned spot and I was forced to park out on the street. There is very little "guest" parking available.<br><br>When my lease expired at the end of the year, my rent went from $685 to $845. For a 1 bed, 1 bath, with 700 square feet. Absolutely ridiculous! I have been trying to get into something else since.<br><br>Next, my biggest issue. I am currently trying to buy a place (especially since my rent went up) and thought I had found one. I gave my notice here but the place I was going to buy fell through. Before I gave the apartment my notice I specifically asked if I could take it back if my purchase fell through. She said YES. Well I called them as soon as I found out that I would need to stay longer here. The manager told me "Too bad. We need your keys on the 31st like you told us." When I told here what I was told she said that no one at the office would possible say that, essentially calling me a liar. Today is January 29th and I need to be out on the 31st. They told me that they already have my place rented out as of the 12th of Febuary. I asked them to give me till the 3rd so that I could get help moving and try to find a place. They would not budge. I realize that I gave notice and that I shouldn't trust the word of an office girl but all I asked for was a few days, not to take back my notice. They did not care that I would have to live out of my car. This moves me to my final point.<br><br>The girls in the office are completely UNHELPFUL (this is substituted as a more PC word for what I would like to put). From the date of move-in to now, from basic questions to problems, I got ZERO help from the office. They don't answer the phone, the office hours listed are 10-6 but good luck finding them there unless it is between 12-4. During the month that I didn't have a washing machine, I asked about a complex laundry facility. I was given vague directions, "around the corner of the building". I was unable to find them however. When I inquired again, I got no help and they said, "I don't know what to tell you, it is right there." I finally asked a friend of mine in the complex. She told me that I needed a key to get into the laundry room. When I went back to the office she said "Oh, you didn't know about the key?" SO FRUSTRATING!!!<br><br>All in all, please don't move here. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place like the PLAGUE! It is not worth all the headaches.<br>
