Not Cool

I've lived here for a little over a year and cannot wait to move this weekend. We've had so many problems, I'm not sure I'll be able to list them all, but I will try. First of all, the maintenance people are atrocious. They can't be relied upon to show up when they're scheduled to. If and when they do the work they'll often leave the place a disaster. We even found one time that they had used our vacuum to clean up some of their mess. I realize that state law says landlords only need to give 12 hours notice before entering the apartment, but they've got it down to a science here. Apparently every month they schedule a time to "pre inspect" apartments of people who are moving out. The night before, at 5:00 a letter is pushed under our door that says they'll be entering the apartment the following day between the hours of 9 and 4. We were pretty upset as our apartment was a disaster from packing. I tried to get it changed but they said that was the day that was scheduled for it. Fine, but that would lead me to believe that they'd known what day it was going to be for quite a while and they could have let us know longer than 15 hours before. Not only that, but the "pre insection" lasted an entire two minutes and consisted of one of the management and a maintenance guy turning the faucets on and glancing at the walls. The same "notice" happened when they wanted to show the apartment. We were given a maximum of 16 hours before they were going to show it to new people. Anyway, the maintenance people suck, in order to get hot water anywhere in the apartment you have to run the bathtub until it gets hot, then you might have hot water at your other faucets, you literally may only get 5 minutes of hot water per shower before you have to switch it to the spout to recharge. Let's see what else.... the heat can never be turned all the way off in the winter (or at least that's what they told us about our valve, which lead us to have an average of an 80 degree apartment all winter. Hmm, I'm getting stressed writing this, so I'm going to stop, but trust me, spend a little more and live elsewhere.
