Willington Oaks Apartments

would never rent from an uprealty managed property again.

move somewhere asap and signed the lease before I moved in. Yes that is on me but I had no where else to go. None of these fixes have been made yet by the way. It is October. In August the upstairs neighbor had a massive leak in their bathroom. Took three weeks before they fixed it. Guess who still has damage in their ceiling? You guessed it! Me. On the bright side I got a new storm door that I didn't need! I have 2 decent sized dogs and they gave me a storm door that has the mesh on the bottom of the door....So smart. But I digress. There is also only 1 washer and 1 dryer in my building ( there is one other set that has been down there for months not hooked up yet) that is 2 dollars to wash and 2 to dry. This building has 16 units..... What the last straw for me was going outside to find my vehicle missing. There was no parking so I parked my truck off to the side in a dirt/mossy spot between two large trees out of the way. I don't exactly have a small vehicle either. I work third shift, I was tired and I wanted to get some sleep and there are vehicles parked on the grass all the time anyways. So because they implemented a new rule over the weekend (without telling ANY of the residents I might add) I woke up to find my vehicle missing and some signs posted at the entrance of the facility saying no trespassing. Well I live here and my vehicle is registered here so then maybe it was stolen? It was stolen. The property manager had it towed 30 miles away to a place in East Hartford. I fount this out from the police by the way. I have yet to hear from the property manager. He wont return my calls or texts. So to get my vehicle back, you have to pay for mileage too. This rule that was implemented is new by the way. Keep in mind there is also no stickers for vehicles or assigned parking. There was no email. There was no text. There was no communication with the tenants here at all. They don't care about you. They only care about money. I implore you, do not move here.

to drink lots bleach every day Sometimes water not working, nothing comes from tap. If you like bleach water, do a taste test BEFORE signing the lease. Also, taste test from your unit over time (amount chemicals varies in water.)

is a huge inconvenience and hazard for residents. Also ice will simply have a bit of sand or salt sprinkled over it opposed to taking the time to break and shovel it away. Lots of potential for injury and lawsuits. They go home at the end of the day, but this is people's home, and it is their paid jobs to keep the complex in good condition and address any problems/concerns. Dana was a fabulous property manager and it is so unfortunate that she no longer works here. For those of us who were here during her time and have also had the unfortunate displeasure of dealing with Amanda, we've come to see that Dana made Willington Oaks the wonderful place that it once was. I highly recommend looking else where for a place to live as long as the current staff are in place.

in the last few years nor can I count how many times I have had to call the police. It started with smaller things, such as every email and phone call going unanswered, which led to me dealing directly with the maintenance staff, when I can catch them. Most work they cannot do without going through the office so not much gets done. Amanda is rarely even in the office and when she is she will show up for just a couple of hours. Countless people have come by to look at the apartments during a normal week, only to eventually give up. Additionally, I have seen people try to move in, only to find that management isn't there on a work day and they have to break into their new apartment, which was not cleaning between renters. No rules are really enforced here, which is why the college students act as though there are no rules or laws (underage drinking, partying at all hours of the day, hitting other peoples cars, flattening tires, parking illegally...you name it!). A couple that lives here tries to reinforce the laundry rule (no running the machines after 10pm) but they continually have issues with other residents. The only time they seem to have peace is when the machines are broken, which happens usually at least once a month from the countless cigarette butts that are stuck in all of the machines. One guy smoke more than anyone else and seems pretty crazy...I've heard him screaming at all hours and that is probably the most sane thing I have seen from him. For a while, he had one of his friends living in the basement of one of the single bedroom buildings. No one did a thing about this. They just let the one guy living down there and the two of them smoking for months on end. Despite promises from management, nothing gets done. In addition to that, Amanda continues to raise the rent, the the hot water cuts out completely after about 20 minutes, the heat works halfheartedly, the water is shut off without warning multiple times a year...I could go on...

talking to residents and staff. She advertises rent discounts to residents but when they try to get them she always denies them. I would not recommend willy oaks to anyone as long as the current manager is in place because of the hostile environment she has brought with her.
