Tara Heights

My wife and I lived here for three years and got treated terribly. We lived in a unit next to the shared washer/dryer and it sounded like a bag of rocks tumbling every time somebody used it. We called because there was a bat in the ceiling and they told us somebody would come in the morning. The same thing happened when squirrels were in the ceiling (both of these were because of the hole in the side of the building). They also got paint on a sentimental painting of ours when re-painting the... hole from the ceiling leak from a rain storm. They also freaked out on us when we found out there was a mouse in our apartment(we were in the third floor), trying to blame us for the cost potentially incurred to other units for rodent damage just for not wanting to use kill traps right after we had to put our dog down. I will never rent from the Lund Company if I can absolutely help it. Read More

The apt, I had smelled was old and not appealing the rent was okay although I dint like paying all utilities. The smell was nasty and made me sick the furnace room smelled. This place really could be a nice place if they remolded without rent increase, its a sore eye for the outside. Do something to make this place appealing. I give the girls in the office those who have come and gone in the last yr and a half a 10 super nice very friendly and pleasant, I want to give them 100% satisfaction for... all they do. Read More

Mouse, bat, flies (over 40 in 2 days), house centipedes, I had them all. I never imagined having a mouse in my apartment at the end of my two year lease, it really freaked me out and I honestly think I deserve some sort of compensation for all the situations I was involved in (like a free month rent tho I never asked for any). But after a bloody cold voicemail from the apartment manager Nadia, I learned that pest control had put some sticky pads under the fridge, and that me having food in the... lower cabinet is the reason for the mouse to get in, because "it's getting colder outside and the food attracted them". I cannot believe I was blamed for storing sealed items like rice and flour in my KITCHEN cabinet, how about the building's too old and the mouse had ways to get in??! I've lived in multiple apartments in the past 5 years, I never found a brown bat in my bathroom, had over 40 huge flies flying around my living room in 2 days (not from me, they were all huge when they came out) , and a freaking mouse in the kitchen till I moved here, and I stayed in the previous apartment for 3 years.

I'm only giving this place a 2 star because the previous leasing agents Julia and Lashell did a great job and truly cared about me when I had problems. After having a bat in the bathroom, I had PTSD for almost a month, I could not go into my bathroom without checking for bats. This Friday I found a mouse in my kitchen, and I had to stay with my friend for the weekend simply because I was not signed up for this. I cannot express how extremely disappointed I was in this mouse situation. I've always been clean in the kitchen, I take out my trash twice a week, and I never had any bug problems - but the moment I had bug/rodent problems, the leasing agent got like annoyed rolled her eyes like a zillion times.

Regardless, I'm so happy that my lease ends in December and I cannot wait to move out. If you don't want old apartments with cold-blooded leasing agents and surprising bug/rodent problems, don't move here. Read More
