Verano Terrace Apartments

Poorly built, intolerably loud creaking and snapping floors. Upstairs neighbors walking around sounds like bowling balls being dropped on your ceiling. Unless you're deaf, you won't be able to sleep until after all your upstairs neighbors do, if even then.

Expect to pay an extra hidden $150/mo for the water/sewer/etc bills.

Requires rent to be paid in cashier's check or money order every month, and unwritten rules about which brands they will take. Plan on an extra $10 monthly fee for that,… and a huge hassle every month for you.

Parking is awful. Pay the extra $35/mo for a reserved space if you can even get one, or you'll find no spaces available after about 6pm. A dozen cars parked in fire lanes every night because there's nowhere else. No attempt to catch unpermitted parking going on.

Laundromat is awful. The hot water is ice cold. Clothes come out marked. Trash cans are overflowing. No one ever cleans it.

Applicants not allowed into the apartments. You must put in a large deposit, wait three weeks for them to get it ready (they leave most everything broken), then pay first month rent before you can finally first go inside.

Massive problem with hundreds of stray & feral cats roaming the property, living in trees and bushes or on patios.

Homeless encampment nearby. Several come around to dig cans out of the dumpsters, fill up their water jugs, etc.

Frequent utility shutoffs with no notices. Sometimes going several days without hot water. Read More
