Rough Time After Renewing Lease
December 5, 2021 - Reseña de Apartments.com
When I originally moved in, it wasn't bad. However, they made a lot of changes ranging from inconvenient to feeling downright malicious.
When it came to parking, everybody had a numbered spot and visitors could park on any curb not near a hydrant. Now, there are no more than a dozen visitor spots for the entire complex, and you must reserve visitor parking during business hours no matter the time the visitor might come. I've never seen such bureaucracy at any other apartment complex, and it ...
honestly feels like they did it just to give Bandit Towing more business. Bandit Towing is a good name for those bandits strolling through several times a day to just find a poor sap who made a mistake. I've even had people wait to pick me up, who have seen the tow trucks just watch and wait in the distance for them to park incorrectly. I wouldn't be surprised if the property management gets a cut of the $200 fees to go get your car back.
Furthermore, each unit used to have to pay for utilities through Oxford Utilities and split the payment with their roommate. This wasn't too difficult of a situation. I was told this was being moved to payment through the complex itself for convenience. However, now my electric expenses have arbitrarily skyrocketed, and they charge each of you $5 convenience fees to split the bill for you.
With this in mind, it's hard to say the staff are good. I've had good experiences, and a lot of them seem friendly enough. However, when the policies change to the point of insult, it's hard not to see them as fake. They don't even keep the door unlocked during business hours and expect you to just wait for 15 minutes to answer the office door when you have a visitor needing one of those silly passes for a 20-minute visit.
Noise is relatively frequent, whether it be from the airport, the fire and police department, or your neighbors' cars with bass-boosted music.
The grounds are covered in pet waste most of the time with numerous fire ant hills around in the summer. That's not even mentioning the dozens of stray cats living around your building. With the amount of attention they paid to the non-issues of parking and utilities, you'd think they would have been forthright in dealing with these issues, but no.
The maintenance staff are pretty friendly, however. I've never had a bad experience with them.
Overall, I would strongly recommend considering other living options.
