"Good"

"DO NOT LIVE HERE!!! Absolutely the WORST experience I have EVER had renting an apartment. Cockroaches everywhere! I was terrified of going into my own kitchen and bathroom! The wood under the sink in the bathroom was warped and smelled of rotten eggs. The screens in the windows were held in place by wires and had tears and holes in them. The bathroom door lock was on the outside instead of inside the bathroom. The front door was crooked so you had to lift the handle to open and close it and there was still a gap when it was shut. Blinds were missing, and the sliding door to the kitchen was stuck and wouldn't slide at all. Even worse than all this disgusting stuff was the fact that the management refused to fix these things. When we were given the keys and the inspection form they promised to fix the sliding door and the blinds but they ended up refusing to fix the door and it took two months to fix the blinds. When I emailed about the roaches several times and was only given a few traps and sprays for them, the management posted a letter on our door asking us to stop harassing them. Finally, we were promised going into the lease that we would not be charged a cleaning fee unless the apartment was in horrible condition. Before leaving the apartment (only three months after moving in because it was so awful) we received a paper saying that we wouldn't be charged a cleaning fee unless the manager deemed it unclean. During our checkout the manager said it was cleaner than she'd ever seen the apartment and again said there would be no cleaning fee. When I was charged $100 out of my security deposit I emailed her complaining that she lied to me on multiple occasions and that we even had a document saying that we would not be charged, however she replied: "The $100 that we charged you goes to her cleaning supplies and time it takes her, we do not take any of that money. She usually charges $200-$250. You apartment was clean and that is why she didn't charge you as much as she usually does, but the apartment still needs to be "move-in ready" for the next tenants. I never said that you wouldn't be charged for cleaning.  As stated in your lease and prior to you moving in I told you the rates for cleaning and the most common cost that are deducted from you security deposit so you could plan accordingly.""

"Looks nice, good pool, but cockroaches everywhere. Dealing with the inept staff was frustrating because after three "bait" treatments by three separate pest control people that didn't help the problem at all we were told to stop harassing the management about the infestation. Seriously three requests in two months about a cockroach infestation is called harassment? Not to mention had several other maintenance issues like screens falling out of windows in the middle of the night."
