  • Broken AC for 2 months now

    June 9, 2019
    It's 12:45AM right now and it's 85 degrees in my apartment. This is AFTER they came and "fixed" it a month ago! Last month they put in a temporary window unit that was also not blowing cold air. So we had to stay in a hotel for the weekend because the blower went out and they couldn't get another one until the following Monday. Even after they fixed it, it never gets below 80 in here. Right now it's not blowing cool air. We reported it 2 days ago and no one has even come to look at it. ...
    They're under new management and they have been replacing roofs, painting, making the OUTSIDE look better, but unless you're OK with no AC, DON'T LIVE HERE!

  • Rental Agents

    November 11, 2015
    Rental Agents are very unprofessional. If i could upload screen shots from Raven's Facebook you'll see how she laughs and joke with her friends about the items left behind by a tenat who with one leg. Lara is a gossip she tells everyone's business. Maintenance comes in your home when after hours when you haven't put in a work order CREEPY!!!
