Renters Beware
October 17, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
I rented here and it was a miserable experience. When we first moved in, the apartment itself was in lousy shape. There were cracks on the ceiling, cracks in the windows, and the tub faucet looked like it had been pulled out of the wall (which was never fixed). There were crayon marks on the wall, and paint was all over the floor. Steps were warped to the point where my roommate twisted her ankle trying to go UP the stairs. Dishwasher was CONSTANTLY breaking and maintenance kept dragging their ...
feet to come and fix it. Obviously what they did never worked since it was an ongoing issue. Oven broke in less than a month of use.
The property has a serious spider problem. Not just little guys, but BIG, possibly dangerous spiders. I could never use the back porch, let alone open the door. If you're going to build a property near the woods, maybe try making more of an effort to put in preventative measures from dangerous creatures. Not to mention the neighbors left all of their junk and CAT LITTER dumped out back.
Things in our lives happened and while we were planning to stay longer, we had to move out after a year. Apparently, the staff didn't like that and not only gave us a RIDICULOUS cleaning list, but when we did leave, they gave us an ENORMOUS charge. Like, half a down-payment on a house charge. They claimed we didn't vacuum the upstairs carpet when we most DEFINITELY did. They claimed we left hay all over the floor. I swept the floor the day of our move. They claimed we left behind a bunch of our stuff. We left behind a few empty grocery bags in a hurry to leave on time (we were moving out of state).
If the property managers were so keen on having the unit be absolutely perfect for the next tenants, they sure didn't prepare it well for us when we first moved in. Maybe before charging an outrageous cleaning fee, try making sure the apartment doesn't look like a dump beforehand.
