Pest control would come and put a few clicks of a gel in the cabinets and move on. The roaches kept getting worse. My neighbor upstairs had the same issue. After months of constant complaining they finally had them come spray and we had to remove everything from cabinets in kitchen and closets and bathrooms. We stayed away for 4 hours per recommendation. Less than a week later, the roaches were back. Instead of them treating the whole building, they did the minimum. I complained again. Alex told
...me they would call pest control to have them bombed the apartment. We left the apartment and came back. Less than a week later, more roaches. We complained again. We went thru the whole apartment with tape sealing off all holes thinking that would help. We even taped around the sink and under the microwave because they would appear anytime I cooked. Alex said when the pest control came this last time, he would be with him to see what I was seeing. Did he come with the guy Of course he didn’t. I explained everything to the guy what we had going on, what had been done, and how long we had been dealing with it. I had requested out of my lease several times due to this but that fell on deaf ears. While standing there talking to the pest control guy, here comes a roach crawling out of my cabinet. He killed it and said these were German cockroaches and the whole apartment must be vacated in order to properly treat it. He also informed me that they did not come to bomb my apartment due to the canisters that were used. The office had maintenance do it in order to avoid paying for it to be properly done. He said they were going to be fined for it. He said the level of infestation I had, I should just get rid of everything. He went to the office to report his findings and then I was told that I could end my lease. HOWEVER, they refused to let me out immediately of my lease and instead required me to stay 60 days AND charged a reletting fee. Are you people insane Well, needless to say, I am in the process of going to small claims court over all of this. I have the report from pest control (he was gracious enough to provide me with a copy) all my pest control requests, pictures, and email correspondence with management.
To be treated as though my complaints were not valid and then to penalize me for it is absolutely unacceptable. When I refused to pay anymore rent let alone a referring fee, they had the nerve to present me with a Notice to Vacate.
