I leased an apartment in Arvada for one year through this company and there was no end to the BS they dish out...They let the property deteriorate to the point of falling down: roof in total disrepair, gutters and downspouts missing or broken, wasp nests everywhere, shingles missing, unsafe outdoor metal stairs that have rusted until they have holes, decrepit central hot water heating systems that leak, unsafe dryer vents, brickwork in desperate need of tuck-pointing, corners of balconies being held up with building jacks, windows cracked/broken and easily jimmied open, etc. They rent to all kinds of druggies, felons, undesireables and riff-raff, then routinely kick them out 4-5 months later after the rest of the tenants complain. When you're driving along and see an apartment complex with a confederate flag being used as a curtain, it's probably an A.T. Smith property. The property I lived in MUST have been the #1 location for police calls in Arvada, with domestic disturbances and fights at least a bi-monthly occurrence. Management (Connie Gilley) is rude, incompetent, elusive, and condescending. They never deliver on constant promises for fixing problems or improvement/beautification projects. It took me 4 MONTHS just to get a F*ing mailbox key!...I had to stand by the mailbox and show my I.D. to the postman to get my mail every day!! The person who referred me still hasn't gotten her $100 referral check after 14 months, and I still haven't gotten my deposit back after 90 days, although I photographed the apartment in immaculate condition when I left. Oh, and if you're 3 days late on your rent, they tape a big notice on your door so everyone in the complex can see what a bum you are because it slipped your mind...These people are slum lords, pure and simple
Cons: Terrible Management, Stolen Security Deposits, Awful Company
