I moved into this apartment just over four weeks ago, only to discover that it was infested with fleas from day one. The unit has been completely uninhabitable, and I've been getting bitten almost every day since I moved in.

The management's response has been appalling. Despite multiple exterminator visits (four so far!), the fleas keep coming back. I've spent my own money on pest treatments, sprays, and traps, and countless hours washing all my clothes and vacuuming the apartment--only to be… told by management that they see "no flea activity." I've provided clear picture and video evidence, but every time they send someone over, they check the unit for just 5 minutes, ignore the evidence, and conclude that there's no problem.

When I asked to be temporarily moved to another apartment so they could properly address the infestation, they denied my request. They refused to let me stay in an available one-bedroom unit, saying that because I only paid for a studio, I couldn't be transferred--even though the studio is flea-infested. Apparently, their bottom line is more important than my health.

To make matters worse, management had the audacity to blame me for the infestation. They claim the fleas must have come with me, despite the fact that I've never dealt with fleas in my life, and my parents' home--where I lived before moving--has no flea issues whatsoever. Management even mentioned that the previous tenant had pets but insist that it's somehow impossible for fleas to have lingered after they left. Their position is absurd and insulting.

Living here has been nothing short of a nightmare. It's clear that tenant well-being means nothing to this property, and they are far more concerned with money than providing a livable environment.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless you want to spend your time battling fleas and being gaslit by management. If you're considering moving in, do yourself a favor--look elsewhere and avoid the headache. Read More
