Apartment nightmare
I’ve only been living in this apartment complex for a few weeks, and my experience has been extremely disappointing.
Within the first few days, I noticed a strong sewage-like odor coming from the unit. I tried multiple ways to eliminate it myself, but nothing worked. I attempted to open the windows for ventilation, but there are no screens, and I ended up dealing with insects getting inside.
When I reported the issue, maintenance briefly stopped by and claimed there was no smell and that... everything was functioning properly. They didn’t even notice that the toilet was leaking until I pointed it out. After their “investigation,” I was told the odor was marijuana-related and that there was nothing they could do. They then closed the service request without resolving the issue.
Because the odor persisted, I had to seal off the main bedroom and bathroom. I purchased an expensive air purifier and have been staying in the smaller bedroom. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on air-cleaning products, yet I still wake up with a sore throat and persistent cough.
There are also multiple maintenance issues throughout the unit:
* The dishwasher was dirty and appeared to have mold. Maintenance initially dismissed it, but after I used it, my dishes came out covered in black residue. Only then did they acknowledge the problem.
* The refrigerator does not maintain proper temperature. If I lower it, the freezer melts; if I raise it, items in the fridge freeze. My milk regularly turns to ice.
* When the AC turns on, the entire apartment shakes significantly.
* The washer was dirty and required me to purchase cleaning products to make it usable.
* The dryer was full of lint, which I also had to clean myself.
* The garbage containers are consistently dirty.
Overall, this has been a very frustrating and concerning experience. If you value your health and comfort, I would strongly reconsider renting here.
