33 Leroy.....NO don't sign it.... Sall Associates are dishonest and wretched realtors. They rent substandard housing under the guise of ""Student Housing.""
The furniture that they provided looked as it was pulled from the road side, the couch gross and it looked like it even have blood stains in it (for the record I don't know what the stains actually were). One of the desk chairs were extremely dirty and had countless cigarette burns. Initially they were adamant that nothing was wrong with the furniture.. This is strange because when they eventually moved some of the furniture out they put it in the pile for garbage collection. If it was so good, why didn't they keep it?
They were other problems, the main entrance door lock and our apartment door were in poor condition. I cut my self several times trying to open the door because it would get stuck and I had to try to turn it very hard. One time my roommate got stuck outside in frigid weather because the locks would work. We complained several times and they were slow to actions or said that there was nothing that could be done.
The carpet on the front steps were torn and there was a big hole in the concrete at the front. This was very dangerous as sometimes my heels would get caught on them. Also the ceiling of the porch was in shambles and had creatures building nests in it. In the first days of moving in there were fungi growing in floor cracks of the bathroom of the place they said was so- called clean! (I was horrified!!). There was leaking in the bathroom that spread to the kitchen and caused the ceiling to crumble. When me and my roommates moved in they said that none of the problems we had would be fixed because the landlord wasn't going to do that...Let's just say that they changed their tune when Code Enforcement was called. Even the authorities pointed out the landlord is generally not good at keeping his placing in adequate conditions...wish I had known that before.
They were reluctant to turn the heat on when the time got cold and the windows and doors had terrible drafts. When we complained they put up a thick plastic over the windows which made it feel like we were living in a cave...
There are many more problems with the accommodations they offer and to top it off they have extremely poor customer service and a big attitude problem. Firstly, they end the lease on May 23 and make you pay for the whole both. The reason they give is that no one will be renting the place until the first of the next month. It's not like we wanted to move out early, they said the lease had to end on May 23, 2011 and yet they still charged us for a full month.
Additionally they were always quick to tell us that no one else seems to have a problem or that is just how they have done things for years...Imagine if the legislators said that!
Doing Business with Sall Associalates has been a horrible experience. I would definitely encourage students not to use them!
