June 1, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
The staff has not done a great job resolving the ongoing issues of my roommate violating the leasing policies a multitude of times. They gave a notice in November, but once the lease violation began occurring a few months later they have done nothing to address the situation. They have put me in my roommate in a position that compromises our safety and makes it uncomfortable at times to live here. The staff needs to do a better job at rectifying lease violations. I’ve done my part in reporting ...
it.
