I moved to this property in 09/2021. I relocated from another state and was unable to view the property prior to leasing.
This property is slightly more affordable than the competition. However, you will need to add $150.00 to their advertised rent as the advertised rent does not include the required $99.00 cable/internet bundle, $35 valet trash fee which requires tenants to place trash outside their door which attracts rodents and causes disgusting messes outside of your door and other
...miscellaneous fees.
The day that I moved into my apartment it became clear that the apartment was not professionally cleaned after the previous tenant moved. The carpet was disgusting, full of stains and dirt from the previous tenant. The entire apartment had a foul/disgusting smell. I immediately demanded the carpet to be replaced and management agreed. In addition to the carpet being disgusting, the windows/window frames and doors had mildew and dirt on them, the ceiling above the stove has visible grease stains and the ceiling in the living room also has a stain (possibly from the previous tenant smoking). I had to thoroughly clean the washer by scrubbing with bleach because it had a foul smell. The dryer vent was not cleaned prior to me occupying the apartment therefore the dryer did not function properly, and it is a fire hazard. The HVAC vents were disgusting covered in dust and debris and the entry way outside of my apartment door was covered in garbage and spillage due to everyone placing their trash directly outside their doors.
The walls and floors are paper-thin, there is no privacy. You can hear other tenants having normal conversations and you can hear every footstep from individuals walking in their apartments or walking up and down the stairs to their apartments. The kitchen countertops are laminate in my apartment and they are chipping/delaminating.
During my top to bottom cleaning I discovered that my apartment had a mouse and there is a hole in the wall directly behind my stove which allows rodents to move freely.
On the positive, this property is located next to Oakley Station Shopping center and close to major bus routes that can get you downtown within 45 minutes.
Max of 2. One-Time fee and Rent rate are per pet.
