One word: ROACHES! For the past two months, a neighbor has been using the patio as a dumpster. It started with one bag, then two. Walked by with my dogs this morning to find garbage galore with birds picking through bags. I'm certain there are maggots, but definitely know there are armies of roaches because they have found their way to my apartment. I have been paying rent to live with ROACHES! I had the apartment sprayed but those diehard insects come back by the dozens because the source has not been remedied. So, I barged into the management office to make a formal complaint only to be told that they had served them lazy hoarders with notices and that it's only been a couple of weeks. LIES! Because the trash had been piling up since May. I walk my dogs the same route every day. This is the laziest management office I've ever encountered; no wonder why there are so many vacant apartments.
Why don't I move??? I'm saving up to move into my own house. So I don't have to deal with SLUMLORDS ever again. I just got to hold on for a few more months. Pray for me, ya'll.
