Jokewood Village. The WORST
From the cheap carpets that make your apartment and everything in it smell like a dump, to the original 1972 thermostats that cost residents literally a few grand to run over the course of November - March/May winter, all in all this place is more like Jokewood Village than Oakwood Village. Don't believe me? I moved out almost 2 months ago and I still can't get that dookey carpet smell out of my clothes, furniture or mattress. Especially on damp days.
Now for the important stuff. and I have all the emails and information I need to back this up...Oakwood Village does not treat every lease or gender the same. While your lease may be legally binding, the person who lives next to you? Well, theirs may not be. Case in point, Good friend of mine signed a lease. His life plan changed and he was financially unable to afford the apartment on his own, He walked into the leasing office, all 6'6"" blonde haired and blue eyed told them he could not afford it (verbally no less, not in writing as required by the lease) with less than 60 days notice and they early termed his lease WITHOUT paying the early term fees AND he received his full security deposit back. The property manager and the vice president both swear up and down that no special considerations are made on leases. All leases are legally binding agreements that must be honored. Yeah folks, unless you're a woman.
*Please note, to date no investigation has been launched into this supposedly illegal activity by Morgan Properties, LLC and the girl who perpetrated this grievous mistake, well she is still employed their as well.
I had lived in Oakwood Village since 2004. I had lost my job in Dec. 2008 and when I regained employment in early 2010 I was (am) making close to $12,000 less a year. I have had to struggle every year with the decision to run the heat or buy groceries as the thermostats are original from the 1970's. I asked to have them replaced, serviced on and on to no avail... When my electric bill soared to $316 for 1 month/1 bedroom, 1 person, I realized I could no longer afford to stay, though I had every intention of staying up until that day. Turns out my lease had auto renewed 2/1/11 I called the leasing office and spoke with the EXACT SAME GIRL who just a few months before had made the special consideration for Mr. Blue Eyes when he was financially strapped and know what I got? Nasty lip from a nasty little girl and told I owe 2 months rent for early term on the auto renewal even though my lease was up 3/31/11. Are you kidding me? No ding-a-ling no *Ca-ching *ca-ching eh ladies!!!!??? Then, on top of that, Oakwood Village was also out of terms of the leasing agreement (the one they wrote) by failing to send me my lease renewal within THEIR OWN SPECIFIED timeline...know what they told me? Oh well too bad, we can be out terms, you can't. Yep, seriously. I could go on and on I have emails out the Yin Yang to back up all of what I am saying is true as well as plenty more. And think about it this way, this is one case of ""special consideration"" we are aware of. How many other times has it happened?
