February 16, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com

Unfortunately, I would not feel comfortable recommending Main Station Apartments at this time. Since moving in four months ago, I have experienced recurring plumbing issues, including multiple shower clogs and a kitchen sink clog that left the kitchen nonfunctional for over a week. There have also been ongoing concerns related to cigarette smoke entering the unit, as well as inconsistent communication regarding maintenance timelines. These issues have significantly affected my daily living ...

experience. I hope management will take steps to improve maintenance responsiveness, repair quality, and communication to better support residents in the future.

I'm already a tenant and willing to extend for one more year. It is impossible to reach to TLC management to discuss an issue in the leasing. I sent them messages, e-mails, voice records but did get any reply. They want tenants to pay a fee about the internet even if they have already a contract from internet provider. Tenants should be free to use internet from TLC management. If they do not want internet, this extra fee for the internet should be removed from the lease. ( What ...

Metropolitan Tenants Organization's lawyer said) I hope this message finds you (TLC management) well. Thanks
