I did not have a pleasant stay here in the apartment. I love the space, but no matter how nice a space is, it is not worth it to be treated like a second class citizen by the landlord. Issues are not addressed in a timely manner. When there was a hole in my apartment caused by sloppy work in the apartment upstairs, I called the landlord and he grew agitated and hung up on me. Finally it was fixed after my son in law saw the water gushing out and spoke to the contractor. I wanted a railing put on the back stairs as my elderly chihuahua fell off. I told that same contractor and he laughed. I finally pulled chairs up to provide some protection for my dog and for me. Shame on the management. When it snowed as it so often did, the management was slow about sending a "crew" over. This one particular Sunday when I wanted to go to Church, the "crew" got here after 11 with hand shovels. The crew consisted of two teenagers. Maybe the management has purchased snow blower by now. Hope so. Lights not working in the front entry way. I reported that at least three times. As I am in the only tenant in the building (what does that tell you?), for me it was a safety/security issue. Still not fixed. . I am paying rent through the end of May.The lease states that landlord will provide wifi. He does not provide wifi. I finally just did it myself. This does not take into account all the anguish and mental stress that I have lived through because of the construction and it is still not finished. But please God, I will be gone when they began construction on the one remaining apartment next door. Perhaps they will not as this building will be empty. Again, what does that say? When I thought I was signing a years lease, I then find out it is for 13 months. As I was still grieving for my husband and as I just wanted a home, I did not look over the lease carefully. I so wish that I had taken an attorney. My husband was an executive with an international appliance company. He would be appalled at the lack of professionalism that is so evident here. And if management withholds the refund of my deposit because of my putting my view on the public domain that will show the world what kind of "man" he really is.
