Harbor Village Apartments

DO. NOT. RENT. HERE. Unless you want a few good months, then end up with a long-term roach problem that management does the bare minimum for! That’s what happened to my mother and I. We’ve been dealing with this problem for nearly a year. We foolishly believed that the matter would be resolved in good time, and opted to renew our lease. What a disastrous decision that was… Month after month went by, and still roaches persist.

We finally saw the light and realized that management just doesn’t… care about actually helping us, and considered buying out of our lease, until we were informed that to do so, we would have to pay 4 MONTHS RENT AT ONCE. At that point we agreed to just grit our teeth and endure the remainder of our lease, while management continued to do little to nothing about the roaches.

I had no intention of leaving a negative review, despite it being more than justified. That all changed this morning, when I found the most offensive letter at our door, claiming that the pest control company that has been coming in every other week to “treat” the problem, found our apartment conditions from their most recent visit earlier this week to be “unsatisfactory.” They claimed that we had dishes in our sink, when we only had ONE, which was only there because it was 5pm, AND WE WERE MAKING DINNER. They also tried to blame us for a bag of trash that hadn’t been taken out. As I stated before, we were making dinner. Our trash filled up during that time, we took the bag out and set it aside TO BE TAKEN OUT THE NEXT MORNING.

THEN, they blamed us for dead roaches on the floor. GEE, I WONDER WHY? It’s almost like we have dead roaches that show up on a daily basis at all hours…! As if we haven’t been trying FOR ALMOST A YEAR for management to do something!

But the final straw for me was the end of the letter, when they threatened us with a housekeeping inspection if “sanitation remains unsatisfactory!” We have kept our apartment in the same GOOD (granted, not great) condition since we moved in, having a few dozen visits from pest control since this whole nightmare began. Why are they complaining about “unsatisfactory conditions” now??

It’s clear what management is trying to do. They are trying to shirk responsibility and blame my mother and I, and we will NOT stand for it. We have been more than patient, kept our place sanitary, and this is what we’ve gotten in return. We are now frustrated AND insulted, and we are counting down the days until we can get out. Read More
