My apartment was given to me dirty. The carpets hadn’t been vacuumed much less cleaned. The first step in my staircase was broken upon move in and it took them nine months of me continually asking them for them to send someone to fix it.

I also had raccoons living in my ceiling for a period of time. They were quick to call animal control to apprehend the raccoons but did nothing to address the damage the raccoons had caused to my ceiling.
