I have been living at monte vista since June 2014. I began to see bed bugs the same month I moved in and it took management 5 months to even take preventative measures. They denied ever having a problem numerous times telling me "we have never had a bed bug problem" I took pictures and videos of the ones I found and killed to the office and they blamed me (I had never seen a bed bug in my whole life before and googled them)
I'm a student and so are many other residents but my neighbors are druggies.
I pay rent early every month and the one month I pay late by just a few days they slap me with late fees.
No dishwashers
Gas stoves from the 70's and NO carbon monoxide detectors.
I will not be renewing my lease at monte vista for 2015
Clearly the payment system is old as dirt, they lost my rent money once and made me do the work to recover the money order and THEY DO NOT ACCEPT credit cards or any electronic payment for that matter.
Since I wrote this review I was forced out of my apartment due to the neighbors apartment burning down (the neighbors ac caught fire due to poor maintenance). It was cool because they had another apartment open somewhat close by that they moved me into right away however, they told me I'd be able to move back as soon as renovation was done on the building I live in but since than I found out I have to pay 150 for them to hold an apartment for me AND pay a 250 transfer fee after I was forced over to one of their other properties.
