I have never dealt with so many problems in an apartment before.
I’ve dealt with ants on numerous occasions.
I’ve dealt with cockroaches continuously.
I’ve dealt with crickets every time we get heavy storms.
I’ve dealt with geckos on multiple occasions.
I’m fairly certain if I ripped up the carpet, I’d find a dozen or so holes in the floor where pests are coming in. I know there are several by the back door, some of which I have filled in, or had maintenance fill in.
The seal around the front
...door is bad, and lets air and pests go through.
The appliances likely haven’t been replaced since the unit was built in the 70s or 80s. I’ve had maintenance come in half a dozen times for my washer, and despite their efforts, the thing still doesn’t work properly.
The AC unit regularly leaks or stops working, forcing me to call maintenance at 1am and having to suffer until morning when they arrive.
When I moved in, I could tell whoever inspected/cleaned/painted the unit last did a haphazard job. They didn’t bother cleaning the floor trim, opting to paint over the hair that was present.
The outlets often don’t work, or they won’t hold a plug.
They continue to raise the rent every year, despite making no improvements to the unit or improving their services. They’d rather spend the extra money paying their maintenance crew to start up their leaf blowers at six in the morning, four times a week than fixing what really matters.
Fortunately, I just accepted a new job, paying $75,000/year, so I’ll be gone once my lease is up. Good riddance.
Max of 2. Pet rent is $35 for 1 pet and $50 per 2 pets.
