If you’re trying to move in get ready for a headache

I’ve been in contact with three different people at the office to get me to apply they were attentive but I contacted them at the beginning of the week and tomorrow’s Friday and still haven’t heard anything back everytime it’s an excuse about we have a lot of move ins one thing I’ve learn is to listen to signs of lacking management building just began leasing and they can’t even pick up the phone and when they do it’s never a straight answer all I’m saying is be careful and pay attention

What a mistake

I just moved in March 1. Nothing works. I can deal with maintenance problems, but the landlord’s people here I think they can just walk into my apartment whenever they want without even knocking or any notice at all. I’ll be sitting here watching TV in the door open and scare the crap out of me. I have no idea why they think they can do that but there’s two leasing agents and a maintenance man and they’ve all done it at least twice that I know of while I’m home. God knows what they do in here… when I leave.
