Avoid The Chadwick: A Nightmare of Mismanagement and Broken Promises
How can the unit not be ready on the DAY of the contracted move-in date when I was asked to sign the lease agreement THE DAY BEFORE THE MOVE IN DATE?? I was told that I could move in at 10am and when we got there, they said the unit isn't fully ready and we would be able to move in by 2pm. Then, after I reached out and called them 10 times before someone picked up, we were told to wait until 5pm. Again, nobody at the Chadwick is reaching out to me to give me an update. I am the one who is... calling and asking for updates. At 5pm, we were told we couldn't move in on our agreed-upon contracted date and I was told that I could move in 5-6 days. Is this a joke? (Please take a look at the photos as this was the terrible state of the apartment unit).
My experience with The Chadwick Apartments has been NOTHING short of a disaster. From the very beginning, the management has displayed a complete lack of professionalism and responsibility. We applied for a unit in late July 2024, and despite receiving approval in mid-August, the communication from the leasing office was inconsistent and unreliable. The staff, specifically Katherine Westfal repeatedly assured us that our move-in date would be on September 1st, which we planned our entire relocation around. However, when the day arrived, we were told—after hiring movers and coordinating utilities—that the apartment wasn’t ready. This information was given to us last minute, forcing us to scramble, cancel our plans, and absorb extra costs due to their incompetence. On top of that, Katherine has the audacity to be disgustingly rude to my family and me when she was in the wrong.
The communication from The Chadwick has been appalling. Promises were made and broken time and time again, with no proactive effort from the staff to keep us updated. We had to constantly chase them down for information, only to receive conflicting answers and excuses. The whole process was characterized by mismanagement and a lack of transparency. Even after their assurances, we were later informed that the unit would take an additional two to three weeks to be completed. In the end, they couldn't even provide a move-in date because there was a pest infestation in the unit. Why was this not taken care of before the move-in date? Also, my family saw a gigantic cockroach at the apartment complex so it seems they have a huge bug problem. Disgusting.
