Things were fine…until they weren’t
My family moved in to a unit here and things started off great. Come late spring/early summer, our a/c went out. We thought this would get fixed and things would be fine but they weren’t. We ended up experiencing multiple a/c issues…everything from not working in the heat of the summer to leaks in the ducts, vents, and down the walls. The issues continued until we were finally able to move out. I am currently undergoing evaluation for mold exposure due to illness that began after having a/c... work done that resulted in a stream of water running down the wall after they “leveled” the unit.
Because going without a/c during the FL summer wasn’t enough, when we moved out management pulled up the carpet and charged us for replacing it. When questioned, a response was provided that it was because of animals. We disputed the claim and asked if the carpet was replaced prior to us moving in as the previous tenant had animals. We’ve yet to receive a response and they also have not provided any proof that it was our animals. We keep getting emails like “we’re still looking in to it.”
We also went without a dryer for weeks because they wanted to try and repair the one in the unit rather than replace it so we had to take clothes elsewhere to dry them.
I realize that nowhere is perfect but a place that is unwilling to work with me regarding possible health issues caused by their property isn’t a place I can recommend. Furthermore, the maintenance repairs were bandaid fixes so they could get in and get out. Our overall experience was less than desired and has now become a nightmare.
