We moved in for about two months before we had to leave. We moved in based on income and my husband and a large amount of his co-workers were all laid off without warning. We quickly told management that he had lost his job and that both of us were out looking for a new one, and in the mean time we could offer half of the monthly rent we had been paying based on what he had been making. They refused the money and offered no help or extension on our dues, we had to pay up or get out, even after we
...said we would be willing to pay a late fee.
We had no where else to go, and packed everything up as quickly as we could and had to move in with my mom out of state, thus saying goodbye to a lot of local family and good friends. Before we left we notified the management of where we were going, took the "I Quit" clause offered on our agreement to avoid being evicted or paying a whole year's worth of rent, and cleaned the apartment top to bottom.
After leaving, we were hit with a bill for $3,000 saying that we had not taken care of our townhouse, but no proof that we had done anything to the property was ever shown. We had one dog who was silent and house trained and I cleaned up after her every time she went outside. I swept, mopped, and vacuumed the house everyday. We did not use nails on the walls to hang up our pictures and left nothing behind but a perfectly clean and empty townhome.
Furthermore, almost no one watches their kids. They just ran all over screaming all the time, climbed into our little fenced yard space to take our daughter's toys, and no one listened to curfew. There were people sitting on our car with music turned up and yelling across the street to each other at all hours of the night, but reporting them did no good. We saw cops almost everyday coming for fights or drug complaints. We had a friend living across from us who also had her daughter's yard toys stolen and problems with management when it came time to pay rent. They were looking to get out as soon as possible and told us about past shootings.
Finally, the pest control... we had a huge ant problem, as did several neighbors. No matter what I did, there was no getting rid of them, but the pest control only came in, sprayed around the half bathroom downstairs and left. That's it! The only nice thing I have to say about the place is that it had good space and a couple of nice people I met here and there.
