Be Wary
September 13, 2019 - Reseña de Apartments.com
I lived here for 2.5 years. There seemed to be a high turnover in neighbors from month to month. The building is old and in poor shape. The windows offer little refuge from the cold - this past winter, the INSIDE of my windows were often covered in ice. I did not have A/C or a dishwasher. Some of the electrical outlets were outdated and weren’t even grounded. Many things around the place were broken or just useless due to their age. The ceiling & walls in my bathroom began to fill with moisture & ...
bubble up. The landlord came while I was at work to patch up the damage, but the problem persisted. The moisture became so heavy in there that it ruined some of my things.
That being said, I was shocked when the landlord nickel-&-dimed me when returning my security deposit. I actually never met the landlord and never once saw him during the 2.5 years that I lived here. He was hard to get ahold of & sometimes just never even responded. I felt I had a good rapport with him, though, considering I was a reliable tenant who never caused trouble & always paid my rent in full & on time. A few days after I moved out, he contacted me saying that I couldn’t leave my mattress standing behind the dumpster as I had, & that I couldn’t leave it on the curb either. I came back promptly & had to pay a junk removal service almost $300 to have it removed. I then received my security deposit in the mail a couple months later along with a letter stating that almost $100 was being deducted from my returned deposit. The reasons stated involved not having dusted/cleaned enough. I was shocked by this because the place is so dirty to begin with and I’d done my best to clean. Almost $50 alone was deducted because a doorknob was broken. This upset me because that doorknob had been broken already when I moved in. I reached out to the landlord about this & never got a response.
