We have had loads of issues in the apartment complex. The smells of the hallways are sometimes so bad that I literally have to hold my breath or I will gag. We often have pet vomit (not ours! we don't have a pet!) outside of our door and it isn't cleaned up for DAYS and sometimes up to a week after we first notice it. Hallways are almost always dirty. Elevators always broken, sometimes making terrifying noises/movements when inside them. Back elevator can be reserved for moving, which is fine, as
...it goes to the loading dock, but they never re-activate it on time and always de-activate it too early for movers, meaning we can't use it. Sometimes it is deactivated without any signage or warning. Parking garage door almost always broken - not safe for our vehicle or bikes. We were accused of smoking marijuana and even threatened with a notice under our door that we would be kicked out on the next offense, despite telling management again and again that it was not our unit. When I went to the office to confront them, they laughed at me and said it was a scare tactic because the "real person doing it wouldn't come in to contend it." Being evicted is not a laughing matter, and I was infuriated. Fire alarms go off without warning and are BLARING. One night, they went off so many times that we had to leave the building at 2 am to go to a family's house, because we kept having to leave the building. The firefighters couldn't even fix it. They are so loud that my partner is now has to sleep with earplugs just in case, that's how traumatizing it was. I spoke to someone who used to live in the building and they told me that they moved out because the fire alarm problem, it was terrorizing their toddler. E
When we tried to change units as a result of the problems, the management pulled a bait-and-switch by promising that if we agreed to the transfer right away, we could lock in a good deal on the unit. One week before our move, we were told that we could only move into that unit if we paid 25% more in rent (a difference of $600). Now, they are listing the unit at an even lower price and even though we formally applied again for the unit, we were rejected at that price with no reason and told we could only have it, again, if we paid about $600 more. The management will not care for you or be there for your concerns. Go to one of the other complexes in the area. It's not worth that the price here is slightly better than the others.
