    Gross negligence, apartment unsanitary on move-in.

    On move-in day, I walked in to a pile of construction waste(screws/nails, wood chips, etc.) in the kitchen, large amounts of human hair/other hazardous waste in the bathroom, and the previous tenants dishes still in the dishwasher. I reported all this in person to the front office at 2 p.m., and was told that cleaning wouldn't be available until noon tomorrow. No additional recompense of any kind was offered for this gross negligence. Upper management has been elusive and overall non-receptive… to my concerns. Avoid Axiom at all costs.
