| - NO LONGER BOB & HANK APPROVED!!!
First and foremost have been derelict in my Yelper duties by not updating this review. I have stopped and started many, many times. But, I respect you zany Yelpers too much to put this off any further. The wounds are still fresh and I must carry on and hopefully spare at least one future tenant, I must. It's in the Yelpers handbook, bylaws and I believe it was mentioned in the secret initiation.
Guess you're not supposed to mention anything secret-hope I'm not banished.
Here it goes, be patient and learn from my experiences.
The Office Manager, Selena was fired. She lived on the property and it was done in such an unprofessional manner, it was the beginning of the end. If they could treat someone who worked there for 7+ years, how were they planning on treating the tenants and other staff. The writing was on the wall.
The new mgr and Maintenance Supervisor lived next to each other upstairs from me.
Not like they had to go out of their way to find me.
It started when the new mgr went out of her way to make herself unavailable. To be very condescending when she was located, I'm sure by accident,and not making any effort to as their literature mentions endlessly making this property feel like a neighborhood. Where you can know who's who. Both the neighbors and I felt the same.
I had loved the neighborhood atmosphere that we as a group of strangers had created. We spent holidays together, borrowed sugar.
Our own little Mayberry in the Desert.She made it a point to try to pit us against each other. Gossiping to anyone who would listen. Delivery men and the like.
Warning notices were a weekly occurrence with threats of eviction.
We loved our home, a phone call would have been nice, since no one knew the new mgr, and the staff that she installed.
There were now OUR rules and THEIR rules.
Police were there approximately 3-4 times a week. When the neighbors complained about their disruptive and more than likely illegal activities, she just moved them to a different area in the property.
It was always a nice surprise while walking my dogs, Bob & Hank to run into them.
The landscaping that the previous manager took time making attractive again, forgotten within her first month.
My 83 year old Father lived one building over. When his A/C went out in AUGUST. Needless to say, they sent someone THREE days later who spent the day working on the WRONG unit.
After threatening to contact the Elder Abuse hotline - they placed a window unit.
He was of course staying with me.
That whole ordeal lasted a little over a week.
I had assumed, silly me, that they would perhaps make an allowance on his rent considering it was uninhabitable for an old man with Emphysema using oxygen 24/7 and wheelchair confined.
I'm STILL waiting for there answer.
The new maintenance crew flooded our patio installing a water heater, at the incorrect apartment.
Even got a very stern worded letter regarding my Christmas decorations.
When the dishwasher broke, they told her she could wash them by hand and "that's the way it is". My 75 yr old Mother will NOT be spoken to in that manner.
And now the camel and what broke it's back.
A dog that was unleashed attacked my dog Bob. Surgery was required. It was a pit bull. However, I the lease that breed is not approved.
I know what you're thinking, eviction. After all, breed not allowed, unleashed dog.
NOPE NOPE NOPE
She had the audacity to tell me that since a member of the staff didn't witness it, their hands were tied. My Unsanctioned
Neighborhood Watch was on the case, Even got video every time I saw the dog off the leash. And I might add not picking up after it!!!!
I am seriously on a roll.
I did call Animal control and they were very, very helpful.
Mgr and staff never asked about him, his injuries. Maybe I was expecting too much, obviously I was.
Equestrian took a happy, well kept neighborhood and destroyed it.
Well done.
