Richelieu On The Avenue

My experiences have been TERRIBLE. I actually hated it so much and had so many problems, I moved out a few weeks early to get away from the water damage I have video of damage for anyone to see!!, roaches (I have taken ziplock bags of roaches to their office to show them), centipedes (sp), moldy musty smell, vandalism from nonresidents and residents. Building was broken into, my peephole cover and laundry room machines destroyed. Mgt said they could do nothing about it. NOT worth 12 months of total hassles and misery. The turnover is incredible. The place is very dirty...just look when you look around...stairs, carpet windows and that is in the main hallways. NOT worth it!!!!! I will GLADLY talk with anyone considering moving in and show the videos I made before moving out. They didn't even give my entire deposit back and won't tell me why! gak0366@yahoo more

Every day I drive by these apartments and am reminded how horrendously they screwed me over.\r \r The short version: I get a call at 4:45 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon when I'm supposed to be moving in at 8 a.m. Friday. I'm told that the previous tenant never moved out and that they have no place for me to live. I had already signed the lease; they'd already deposited my first month's rent and deposit, I'd hired movers, etc.\r \r Their solution: None. They had vacancies at one of their other properties (20 mins away from where I was supposed to be moving into) that allowed pets and had immediate move-in. And they'd put me on the waiting list for the next apartment to open up at the Richelieu. But I'd have to move twice -- once to this lame place in Greenwood and then again whenever a 2 br at the Richelieu became available, meaning that I'd have to pay for two moves, despite the fact that it was their screw up.\r \r My only option: Hire a lawyer. Got some money back but not enough to compensate for the stress and junk I had to deal with after finding out that I had no place to live essentially a day before I was supposed to move in.\r \r HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE experience. I can't believe businesses can actually behave this way and stay in business. And that renters have no rights in a situation like this. more
