I moved into this apartment complex at the end of April and have had a terrible experience so far. I picked up my keys on April 21 and moved in on April 26, only to find out the unit was infested with roaches. They’re everywhere—in the bedrooms, kitchen cupboards, refrigerator, bathrooms, and living room. I’ve tried handling it myself with no success, and despite contacting management multiple times, the problem still hasn’t been resolved.

I submitted a maintenance request on April 29 (which is… still open) and called the office on April 28. I even went in person on Saturday, May 3, and was promised that the exterminator would be sent out on Monday, May 5.

The back-and-forth and lack of follow-through have been incredibly frustrating.
