NOOOO WAY IN HELL! 11/26/2009

I don't even know where to begin. We moved in here because they had a ""good deal"" to move in. This is the first apartment my wife and i rented and it will be the biggest mistake we've ever made. The staff was great when we first came in. Very kind, willing to work with us....for the first three months. Then everyone got fired and they hired an entire crew of complete and utterly moronic people. They are rude and pompous to us everytime we see them. We were put in an apartment that had a completely different layout than the one shown to us previously. Don't let their model fool you, trust me when I say it's a lie. We live in a total of 412 square feet, and we are paying $1.66 for each square foot. The prices may be convincing but trust me, there is better out there for 50 more dollars and its worth it! We filled out a list of all the damaged things when we moved in. After 3 months of absolutely no help from the management and repairs, I took matters into my own hands. I fixed two outlets (completely had to rewire them--they didn't transfer any electricity) and fixed the shower head because it was completely covered in calcium deposits and rust. We had to go out a buy a new one in order to shower. The toilet seat had an experiment growing on it like it had not been cleaned for ages. So i replaced it too. The carpet was covered in dog food from the previous owner so we had to rent carpet cleaners. The water was disgusting. The cabinets don't close all the way because the hinges are worn and broken. The weather striping is non existent and lets the cold winter air come right in, and what makes this worse is that we are expected to heat our apartment with electric heaters from 1970. They are brown, and plugged into the wall. Our first electric bill was 140 dollars just because we ran the ""A/C"" to keep cool. Please note we turned it on for a total of 4 hours and gave up since it didn't make a difference. Our stove quit working a week into our lease, we had someone come look at it. The maintenance team laughed when they found our stove was only plugged half way in--which is a fire hazard, HELLO! Then we go to our ""walk in closet""....if you walk sideways then it works, but for someone who expects real ""walk in closet"" this closet falls short and then some. In the closet you have the water heater..and if you're unfortunate you have a washer and dryer. These two monsters take your entire closet. if you try to walk to the back of the closet you literally knock several hangers of clothing to the ground. This gets very cramped and annoying, not to mention this is against city and fire regulations. Our living room is a joke. we have a two seat love seat that measures 50"" from arm rest to arm rest. That is a small couch. It takes up half of the room and makes things very crowded and very small. We had a great dining table, but had to change it out for a puny dining table so that we have room for two to eat. The fridge is an antique and literally freezes everything on the top shelve. We throw out more food than we eat. The stove is a camper stove, it is half the size of a real stove. We can only put one cookie sheet in at a time and have to prop something up against the door to keep the door closed because the cookie sheet barely fits in there. The property is not a good place either. There are cops here all the time and drug deals just about every night . There are domestic disputes here all the time as well. There is so much more to say. If i could only give this place negative stars. Horrible place to live. DO NOT waste your money here! I promise, please listen and take my word. You will be better off not living here.
