This apartment complex is to be avoided at all costs. We lived there for only 6 months, and in that time we had the following problems:
- the fire alarms would go off whenever we used the stove and oven (even when we were just pre-heating the oven!!)
- the door alarm did not work - the battery died, and was never rep[laced
- a piece of siding fell off the outside of the building above the driveway
- the back door never worked, and was never fixed. the door would not stay shut
- when it got
...cold, the front door frame warp[ed and would not close. during a storm the front door blew open, and the wind then pushed open the back door (see above) causing damage to our property - pictures and mirror knocked off the walls, etc.
- vent fans in the bathrooms fell out of the ceiling
- the A/C unit was blocked, and water ran down through the downstairs ceiling
- knobs kept falling off the cabinets. The reason? According to the maintenance team, the management ordered screws that were 1/4 inch too short, so the knobs could not be attached securely (seriously. I couldn't make this up.)
Now, on to the financially shady operations at work here:
- when we signed a lease, we gave them our rent and deposit. after a few days, they came back to us and demanded an EXTRA amount for the deposit, claiming they didn't collect enough when we signed the lease
- every few months, they would demand additional money that was not specified in the lease, and if we didn't pay they threatened us with eviction.
And finally:
- when we moved out, we scheduled a "walk through" of the apartment with the management staff so that we could review the condition of the apartment. We painted and cleaned the apartment so that there was not even a mark on the walls. We scheduled this walk through with the head of the office, and he assured us that his staff would be there at 1:30 that Saturday afternoon to conduct the walkthrough. Well, when we showed up for the walkthrough, after driving for 4 HOURS to get there from our new place, the office staff said "sorry, I'm busy and can't do that today."
- we contacted the manager, to no avail.
- after emails and phone calls, the manager finally said he would walk through the apartment the following week and get back to us.
- 2 weeks later, they have not yet gotten back to us about our deposit
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.
