Riverside Apartments of Dowagiac

"I never like riverside Apts because stuff I head about the apts and other things, but I needed a place to live fast and they were fast getting me in to the apt. The apt was cute and small but it needed to be updated bad. The apt wasn't clean when I moved in. So I had to clean it before I could even not put my stuff away especially in the kitchen and the bathroom. The kitchen I had to clean out the cabinets and everything else and the oven still had some black stuff in it and it smelled. The oven wouldn't cook things that good. The glass on the back door was foggy but they fixed that. My sliding screen door for my back patio wouldn't even open half the time and they work not fix it. My sisters boyfriend fixed it and it worked like a new door. The bathroom was dirty as well. In my kids bedroom the closet doors had a hard time closing because the carpet was in the way. My wasn't bad had a walk-in closet that was nice but had to clean it, had alot of dust on the shelves. Also the carpet wasn't cleaned and told me it was and they take $40-50 out of your security deposit for a cleaning crew to come in and clean after you moved out. Another thing that made me mad was they wanted to to write down on a piece of paper what I was doing with my tax money and what I spent it on. That's when I applied for Indian hills and broke my lease with Riverside Apts to transfer to Indian Hills and yes you can do that without penalty. Indian hills called hud and whoever else to make sure before I moved out of riverside Apts and I never did get penalized. I got my security deposit back about 2 months later after I moved out. I got back my fI'll amount back except what they take for cleaning costs, even tho I cleaned it myself for the next person. I didn't care I just wanted out of there. Overall tho the apt didn't have enough storage space, the kitchen was to small and it just wasn't big for me and my kids. Also I didn't trust people who lived there and I got sick of smelling marijuana in the hallway walking to my apartment. Also a dog barking all the time."
