A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS... with a move in date of March 5th the night before I received a call stating the apartment was flooded, rather than offer any initial concession the employee I spoke with said I could move into a 1 bedroom (despite securing via deposit for a 2 bed) until the unit was fixed in other words move my stuff TWICE!

...DID NOT WORK... with the leasing office closed emergency maintenance had to come and drill out the lock to give me access. Then came the walk through... on a surface level everything looked A-Okay...but a deeper look and I found chips in the Faux-Granite, nail polish stains on the counters, cob webs and food splatters on ceilings, you would think with an extra week they would have ensured everything was in tip top shape...Now the bigger issues... a stove that half of the burners didn't work, a dishwasher that didn't turn on, a broken produce drawer in the fridge, and a sink that was clogged all of this easily resolved and more so just an annoyance perils in comparison to the bug infestation that I have been dealing with since day 1!. After notifying the management, they sent in a pest control company who laid traps throughout the kitchen, on floors and counters, and then returned two days later to apparently spray something. Despite coming in twice now there are still bugs that I am constantly killing and vacuuming up.
Long story short, although my move in started as a series of unfortunate events and maybe my experiences are a one off...I would just say that for me, I am seeing a pattern of unresolved and partially resolved issues and would encourage all to do their due diligence prior to signing on the dotted line.
