Fleas in New Luxury Apartment
I’ve always lived in Irvine Company apartments and have had an amazing experience. The cleanliness and customer service standards were always above and beyond what I’d expect until I decided to make the switch to Park Place. I was excited about renting one of their new apartment units that had the best finishes and upgraded appliances. 3 days after I moved in I woke up in the middle of the night with red bumps all over my ankles and legs. I was panicked and when I started walking around my... bedroom I noticed tiny black bugs that would jump onto my ankles. I submitted a work order request through Park Place and the exterminator confirmed that the apartment had fleas and that since I just moved in they must have been here before I moved in since I did not own any pets. I’ve lost $1K in hotel rooms because I was too scared to sleep in my apartment before the pest control service came and Park Place did not offer / will not pay for anything to compensate me for an inhabitable unit. I was told to go through my renters insurance which most policies do not cover fleas since that requires a specific pet insurance. Thankfully I’ve moved in with my boyfriend but I wish that I would’ve toured the unit before I signed. I’ve never been treated so poorly for an unfortunate event that I didn’t cause. I am genuinely upset because I loved the unit so much and was so excited to be able to move into an upgraded apartment and now I’ve lost more money dealing with this issue. The unit was treated by pest control but there are still fleas all over my bedroom carpet and I am uncomfortable keeping my bedroom furniture because of it. There has been no apologies or efforts to make the situation better from the Park Place management team. I had to fight to get an appointment with one of their managers and stop by multiple times just to get answers on if I could get out of my lease. Thankfully I’m leaving but if I could go back in time I’d never sign here.
