A Nightmare on Gateway Street

If Gordon Ramsay created a TV series called Apartment Nightmares, The Retreat would be the highlight of the season. If I were to describe this decrepit apartment complex in a few words it be like illustrating a scene from a horror movie: flea infested, mold contaminated, hazardous wasteland. They should seriously consider renaming the community to The Nightmare on Gateway Street. As I scroll through the reviews for The Retreat, I’m reminded of my time watching Law & Order: SVU; except these are... the stories of the victims.
To depict the reviewers as victims wouldn’t be an exaggeration. The leasing staff at The Retreat utilizes deceptive sales tactics to lure in would-be customers by showing them an ideal apartment model that doesn’t remotely resemble the unit itself. However, don’t expect to see your unit UNTIL move-in day; instead, they will delay with excuses for fear of losing potential customers. Once you’ve stepped into your decrepit unit expect to be met with a host of issues, including, but not limited to:

- Non-working appliances (e.g., washer/dryer)
- Molded dishwasher/washer
- Non-working toilets
- Leaking faucets
- Non-existent sound proofing between the subfloor
- Etc.

But don’t expect any sympathy from the leasing office after you’ve expressed your dissatisfaction with the unit; you’ve signed a legally binding contract with the devil himself. The discounted 13-month lease was merely a ploy to pique your interest in the hellish abode.

My advice to all onlookers: stay away from The Nightmare of Farmington Hills.

DO NOT SIGN A LEASE HERE!

This has by far been one of the worst property managements I have ever experienced. 
Starting at move in, I was told that I might have to wait to move into my apartment because they were not done cleaning it. That was a JOKE. My apartment was not cleaned. They may have replaced the carpets and that was it. I had to mop several times before my floors were cleaned. Also, upon moving in, multiple things were broken, missing, or not working properly. I still to this day do not have a drain plug in...
my bathroom sink. A towel holder was hanging off the wall, the buzzer to the apartment doesn't work but neither do the locks to the building doors. 
I have put in multiple maintenance requests to get things fixed. They have canceled some of them and marked some of them as completed even though they never did anything. 
At one point, I noticed water damage in my ceiling (I am on the bottom floor) and put in a request to have it addressed. After almost 2 weeks and no call from maintenance, my ceiling started to collapse and water was leaking into my apartment. They ripped out the drywall and exposed a ton of MOLD in my ceiling. And the hole sat open for a whole MONTH. The Property Manager told me she would personally call me when she hired a contractor to fix it. Imagine my surprise when maintenced called to tell me she wasn't going to get a contractor and so they would just do the patch job themselves. 
They also LEFT MY STOVE ON when I was not home, when I had a maintenance request for that. All I got was an "I'm sorry" for COMPLETE NEGLIGENCE. Now, my dryer is burning my clothes for the SECOND time and they have had a whole week to contact me. 
Save your money and go literally anywhere else. I can't wait for my lease to be up.

BEDBUGS INFESTED APATRMENT

Recently moved in to the newly leased apartment which was infested with bed bugs leading to serious bodily injuries. Complains to management went to deaf ears as they don't care for the health of the tenant's . Please don't get carried away by the free rents offered to lure to occupy these apartments which are hazardous and please try to get opinions from existing tenant's before singing the lease agreement.

DO NOT MOVE HERE.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!
My stove has been broke and "poorly put together" over 12 TIMES. REFUSE TO REPLACE. Have to wait WEEKS for someone to come fix it.

Heat went out in January, maintenance claimed the whole furnanced needed to be replace so I had to wait over a week because they didn't make new parts for it anymore. Claimed they replaced it..

It is now MAY and my air conditioning is out. It has been 80 DEGREES or more this whole week it has been out. I have a new born and had to rush him to...
hospital because of overheating!! Management has told me MULTIPLE TIMES someone is going to come look at it. 5 Days later some comes and say the FURNACE IS OLD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED I HAVE TO GET ON A WAITING LIST.

I have to go get rooms for my child and I. Property manager was suppose to call, NEVER DID. They don't accommodate you, they don't care if its an emergency or life or death. PLEASE THIS IS THE WORST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. EVERYTHING IS LIES AND POORLY PUT TOGETHER.

Unhelpful management. Friedman Properties. Mold all over appliances

Beware. This is the worst apartment.moulds all over washing machine. Dryer hasn’t been working we kept on complaining the management hasn’t done anything for over 5 months. Instead of changing she is telling us to go to laundromat. Imagine you can’t wash at the comfort of your home after paying your rent.
