Bugs and other issues
Buildings have bug issues, broken glass is everywhere and never cleaned, other tenants will hit your car and management will tell you their cameras don't work, kids trash the buildings, fire alarms seem to be a constant the last few months, issues aren't actually fixed, honestly I could go on and on.
Sign a lease here and you won't be able to wait until it's over and you can move out.Review from Apartments.com
