Anybody for swimming in a cold, green colored pool? Villa Napoli Apartments in Chula Vista offers just such a slimy experience on a hot summer weekend. The managers don't want to be bothered so while they're off to the casinos sipping margaritas, the neighborhood shows up to wash in the sparkling pool only pictured on all the rental websites. As the pool fills with guests who eat burritos in the pool and play pickle in the middle with a grimy football, the grounds get trashed and parking is hard to find because of all the free-loaders who park in the tenant spots. It's not just the lack of care for the pool and parking lot that bothers me so much, but the lack of overall management that makes this place not a home, but a dump. Half the washers and dryers are broken and management refuses to fix them. You would think that something like a laundry room that makes THEM more money would be kept up nice. Oh, but that's right they ARE making money from all the quarters that they refuse to return. Most tenants don't have the luxury of doing their own laundry onsite anymore if they really want to be sure everything gets properly washed and dried. Most are taking their laundry elsewhere. I'm not just taking my laundry out. I am out. I am out of here. I'm tired of the signs posted everywhere telling me why the pool or laundry room or front hall where the mailboxes are have been locked up without notice. I'm tired of the water being shut off without due notice. I am tired of notes from the management being put in my MAILBOX without a stamp. Isn't that a federal offense? I'm tired of walking through trash in the parking lot just to get to my truck. I'm tired of trying to find the manager in the office during regular hours. I paid good money when I chose to move here, but unfortunately it was a bad choice. Their lease is like doing time in prison here. When my time is over I got to go. I want to go now!
