Misery
June 25, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
It’s 85 in my apartment right now. It’s set for 74. Living in my apartment during any kind of heat is sheer misery. I get I face the sun and I have a large window; but I’ve been dealing with this place for almost 7 years, 2 in my current apartment. I have placed tint on my windows and have 3 total black out curtains. I get it’s super hot outside- but other apartments and units can handle it.
I’ve always been told: “the apartments are old.” “You know living on the 3rd floor is bad.” “Why do you ...
want to live there?” (I don’t want to share a bedroom wall..) “It just can’t keep up on the 3rd floor.” “That’s how it is”. It was also like this in my prior apartment that was *not* facing the sun.
I’ve also been told and shown a photo the attic doesn’t have insulation. Has the new owner fixed it? No. We get to pay a $10 amentity fee for what? Working a/c’s, a dishwasher that isn’t broken and has cut your hand, a toilet that doesn’t require multiple flushes, a working ice maker, at least 1990s appliances instead of the falling apart 1980s ones? Nope.
I should not be in tears. I have slept on my couch for the last 5 nights because the bedroom is so warm. I have my bedroom ceiling fan going, my living room floor fan, and another fan in the bedroom. My unit does not have a ceiling fan in the living room.
I am sweating. I’m tired. I’m exhausted. I called earlier today about this and still nothing. It’s 7pm. I also asked about this over a week ago and no one ever showed.
I don’t know why other people I know have functioning a/c in their apartments. (At different properties.)
I have heard every excuse in the book. I can’t deal with the: “Well, This is how it has to be because of the location of the apt and it’s old.”
Stephanie and Leonor are very kind. I am placing this soley on the owners/management company.
I’m pretty upset at the thought I will probably have to move and pay a lot more elsewhere - but to have a working air conditioning system - I’ll take it.
