| - I lived in The Pennsylvanian for one year. It was so intolerable that I moved a month early and just ate the cost.
The pluses: from a distance, the apartments are decent. and the maintenance staff is always around.
The minus: the maintenance staff is always around. As in, they took daily lunch and gab fests directly outside of the my living room window in the courtyard. I'm not trying to be an elitist, but I would have liked to have been able to use the table right outside of my apartment in peace.
Additionally, they do random pest control, which is an excuse to snoop in your apartment. Once, they found "a used pot soaking in soapy water and a teapot on the stove" (verbatim from the letter they sent me), which was considered "unhygienic." This was a search they did without any warning to me and while I was at class. I'm obsessively clean and generally didn't even leave any dishes soaking ever and I keep my CLEAN teapot on the stove since I make tea often. It was insulting, and to make it worse, they insisted that they had to come back once a week for the next three weeks to check on my sink's cleanliness. Whoever had "inspected" my apartment had rummaged in all of my drawers. I then had a real estate lawyer friend remind Mozart of my rights, and they didn't bother me again until I moved out early--they were upset I was leaving the apartment "abandoned," even though I had paid the rent through the end of the lease.
Furthermore, they absolutely refused to tell me when they would be spraying for these so-called pests, which I believe is why they started doing the "inspections"--to spite me. Their staff is horribly rude that way. After they posted a sign about spraying for pests, I went into their office with a note from my physician explaining I have very serious asthma and needed to know what they were spraying and when so I could go somewhere else for a couple days. They said I was hindering their pest control, and then started the weekly inspections of my apartment. This was after they randomly showed up unannounced and re-finished my bathtub while I was in class, and just left a note saying I couldn't shower for 2 days on the door. The smell was so strong that I would have had to leave for that long anyhow. Hence, why I asked about the pest spraying.
The dry wall from the ceiling fell suddenly in large chunks all over my bedroom once, and it took 2 days to fix and they left dry wall dust all over my room (this was after I had cleaned up from the first dry wall).
Incidentally, the first person they showed my apartment to took it, and the realtor thanked me profusely for having a such a nice set-up that it made it so much easier to rent than the "messy" units...I'm guessing places with TWO dirty pots in the sink.
