| - Portage Towers is not only the worst place I have ever lived; I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. Let me just start with the day I was supposed to have my carpet cleaned. The carpet cleaning company comes in and starts doing their thing. I was at work at the time. My roommate goes to leave for work, runs back in because she forgot something and literally sees one of the carpet cleaners rummaging through clothes drawers in our bedroom and watched him pick up our underwear and bras (he couldn't see her at the time where she was standing). She was so horrified, she ran out. I rush home from work and we go down to tell the leasing office. At first, they acted like they were going to call his boss and get this taken care of. 3 or 4 days later, we haven't heard a thing from the leasing office. I go down there to see what's going on and they start telling us that they aren't going to do anything about it because, and yes this is a real quote from them, "he probably has kids and a family and he's worked here for 2 years." They also encouraged me multiple times not to get police involved. I couldn't even believe the words I was hearing. I couldn't get out of this place fast enough. I wanted to warn everyone in the building, but I didn't know where to begin. The building is HUGE. So, I'm now telling EVERYONE I know, and please pass this along. DO NOT LIVE AT PORTAGE TOWERS. They knowingly protected someone who went through mine and my roommate's underwear and bras, and he is still employed there. For the remainder of my stay there, because they refused to let me out of my lease (classy), I was forced to walk by this guy in the hallway, all the while knowing he had a key to my apartment. If you're still reading this, I can go on and on about all the bad things about living here. The management, maintenance is terrible, the facilities are never taken care of. I once had my dishwasher spewing water right onto the floor at midnight and they asked if I could wait to get it taken care of until morning. These are just a few of the small things they have done in comparison to me being completely violated in a place that was supposed to be my "home."
