i was so excited when i found out that i was going to be moving into my first apartment, little did i know the trouble that was ahead of me & my first rental experience. i moved in my apartment in october of 2007 & within 2 days of being there i knew it was a HORRIBLE place to be. There was a shooting in the parking lot & my daughter that was 3 at the time and myself where only about 15 foot steps away at the park that is in the yard. Thinking of how lucky we were to still be living and healthy, i grabbed my daughter and ran in the apartment with her and had to keep holding her because she was soo afraid and crying like never before. 3 hours later to my surprise the police still hadnt came and NEVER came. i decided to take my daughter & myself & spend what was suppost to be our 2nd night in our new place with my mother where i knew we would be safe. The next day we get home only to find that our apartment had been broken into and the door left wide open. When i notified the office about the incident they had not 1 concern & only told me that there was basically nothing they could do & that i couldnt end the lease without having it on my credit as abondment of my apartment. With no prior rental experience i didnt know it wasnt true. November 20,2007 my 2nd child was born and upon leaving the hospital i get home to find that i have no heat, i call the office and they sent the matience man with a floor heater & told me that they would come check it out properly on Monday because it was time for him to get off. The day we came home was Wednesday, they knew i had a newborn & a 3 year old & where knowingly leaving me without heat for 5 days. it ended up being 17 days that we had no heat & had to stay at my mothers. Thinking what else can happen to me & being fed up i just couldnt wait to leave. What would you know a whole broke through my ceiling and we were once again left with no help. That was in March 2008 and to this day it is still a whole in the ceiling
Cons: they dont care about what breaks in your apartment
