| - Moved in here 6 months ago, only saw the model apartment, which looked really nice and that's why we decided on this place.
However, once I started living here, I realized that there were many things that I've taken for granted at other apartment complexes.
1. This might vary from apartment to apartment, but my TV gets ONE channel from the antenna (I do get about 5 Spanish channels, but I don't watch them ever.). At my other place, I could pick up all the local channels with the same antenna. Talked to the office, they go "you'll just have to get cable". Is this a deal they worked out with the cable company or something?!
2. Poor cell reception. People can't hear me when I call them from my couch in the living room or my bed in my bedroom, I have to literally be GLUED to the wall towards the outside for me to have enough cell reception to make a call.
3. No recycling bin. Shouldn't EVERY apartment complex have a recycling bin by now? The office said "you'll just have to take it to Target"
4. We found out that it costs $7 to replace a bulb in the kitchen when three of our bulbs went out. I don't know about other apartment complexes but I've never ever had to pay for a bulb in any of the apartments I've lived in. I called the office to ask if it's in the lease, they said it's not, but it was a notice that was put out on every apartment door sometime ago (they couldn't provide when this happened), and that it does say in the lease that they can change their policy at any time. And the manager said "People just leave their lights on all the time, and that's a lot of money if we change them for free, that's $7 per bulb and we have 300 some apartments here." Yeah all those 300 some apartments pay you $900 in rent EVERY MONTH.
5. Among all the ripoffs, this is the best one. My roommate's car got towed one day because she failed to move it during parking lot repaint. The office claimed that they put out notices EVERYWHERE about this (of course we didn't see any of those "notices), yet when my roommate talked to some of our neighbors, they said a lot of people's cars got towed. The car towing company told my roommate that she has to pay $400 to get her car back. She argued with them and threatened to sue them. Next thing I know, she told me they said she doesn't have to pay that $400 anymore. Is the car towing company just super nice, or is it something else...?
It's safe to say I will not be renewing when my lease is up.
