extremely disappointed
June 4, 2018
The building on 514 S Forest has mice!! super rude staff, rudest I have ever seen (maintenance folks are nice though)... I can't believe this. I was verbally viciously attacked by the front desk person when I politely told her she should have mentioned that my building had rats when she showed it to me, and it's her responsibility to tell the future tenants about the problems. (yes mice are inside my unit, they happily live and hide under the broken carpet in the the space between the floor and ...
wall).
