I really love the size of my studio and the surrounding area. I enjoy that I can walk to the grocery store and how nice the grounds are.
However I've dealt with a roach infestation since last February when I moved in.
I asked them if this was still an issue before I moved in (I read reviews about this being a problem for some people a few months before). I was told that new management and remodeling had eliminated the issue.
They've sprayed, baited, and bombed over 6 times. These proved to do nothing but hold them off for a 2 week (at most) period.
Today I found a roach nest near my toilet, and saw larva crawling.
I've asked if I could hire my own exterminator and was told no.
The roaches vary in size and are
mainly in my bathroom and kitchen. It has been an embarrassment because I never know when they would show up. I'm afraid they are in my items and I will have to get rid of everything.
I've asked to be moved and was told no as well.
There was a drug addict who lived above me that was evicted. I was told he was the source. Since then several new tenants have moved in, roaches are still present.
I pay close to $700 for a studio apartment. If I am behind on rent (4 days), they will send notices and threaten for eviction. Although the new staff has been very nice and seemed concerned after putting in so many request I expected some kind of compensation for the amount of distress I have been in.
I am a teacher and couldn't afford to break my lease and come up with deposit etc. for a new place.
My lease is up soon and as soon as I can find a roach free place I will be leaving.
