    Horrible Management and Bad Apartment

    When I moved into the apartment, no inspection was done on it. There were multiple aesthetic issues such as paint problems, and the kitchen literally being held together with tape. The apartment was not even cleaned when I moved in. I had to put in multiple work orders on things that should’ve been done before move in. I will say the maintenance has always been super quick and helpful to fix the issues as they popped up. However, there were so many issues throughout the year as well ranging from… hot water problems, water leaks in the wall, and pest problems. Towards the end of the lease, I asked management about possibly doing another inspection just to make sure we’re not keeping an apartment that has actual issues. The manager at the time was extremely rude to me and spoke down to me. She literally said that I was the only person in the whole complex to ever complain about issues. She also basically told me that if I did not like living there to turn in my notice and leave, so that is what I did. It was extremely disrespectful, especially considering the fact that I’m paying rent. I would never live here again, especially with that type of management mindset.
