| - This is very belated, so things may have changed, but this was my experience.
Boyfriend and I went to the leasing office in the hopes of renting a 1 bedroom apartment. We were seated, waited a while and were finally greeted by a leasing person. We told her what we were looking for and her first question was "How's your credit? Because we have a special that I can't offer you if you have bad credit." Um, wow. First, while it's a legitimate question, it should be asked much later in the process, like when we're ready to sign a lease. Second, if there's a credit-contingent special, it's probably best not to tell us about it until you've run our credit. Nobody wants to hear about the awesome thing that they can't have.
Anyway, after that, we were taken to see the model apartment. It was small and had new carpet & paint, but anyone who's lived in an apartment before knows that the new stuff isn't always complex-wide.
Since I fancy myself to be quite the cook, I looked hard at the kitchen. The appliances were dated, as was the cabinetry. Speaking of cabinets, there were few of them. Not a whole lot of storage space, which is no bueno. Since that could be fixed with a stand-alone cabinet later, I overlooked it. However, I could not overlook the fact that all the appliance doors overlapped. You couldn't open the oven door without opening the fridge door first. God help you if you wanted to reach half the cabinets while the dishwasher was open. It was so badly planned, I couldn't believe it.
Back to the leasing office we went, only to be told the following deal breakers: one, no utilities included in rent. Each tenant pays an amount to the office in addition to rent to cover water, sewer and trash. Best part? The amount changes every month based on water consumption throughout the complex. I've never run into a complex that doesn't include those utilities in rent. Then, she says, "I noticed your car has CA plates on it. You'll have to register the car in NV before you can live here, since we report all cars to the DMV with out-of-state registration." She didn't bother to cover up the fact that she thinks reporting cars is oodles of fun. That was the only time she smiled in our presence. I totally get the registration thing, but the fact that this place actively tries to make life difficult on its tenants was incredibly offensive to me.
Stay away, away, away. There are complexes that are so much nicer and know how to treat their tenants with respect.
