Do you like your stuff being stolen? Do you like when your shower water turns ice cold after 3 minutes? Do you like when managment calls you a liar?\r

Me and my boyfriend have lived here for 5 months and are itching to get out. The very first week we had a clogged toilet and maitenence said dont shove half a roll of toilet paper down it, like we were 5 year olds.\r
\r
Our shower water would be nice for a minute or two, and then would turn freezing. I would have to adjust the knob to give me a little more warm water but that would only last a minute before doing it again. I have never had warm water for over 5 minutes. maitenence said that we can buy a new showerhead with little pressure. it would make water trickle out of it, but it might last longer. this is upsetting becuase we pay for water. $20 more each month than what they quoted.\r
\r
When the maitenence man came in to ""fix"" the problem, he walked across the clean carpet with muddy shoes. when we complained about it, they said that they reccomend buying a door mat! Well, we did just because we wanted one to add a bit of touch to our small space outside. It was stolen 2 days later.\r

Bugs. Spiders, earwigs, bugs ive never even seen before. \r

They said that because the apartment is smaller than our last that we should see a huge drop in electric costs. every month has been over $50 more than i usually pay. and we still freeze. i dont understand how i can run this bill up enough but still have to walk around with a blanket. Maybe because the big slider door right next to the main door (which is pointless, unless you like your close neighbors to be able to see everything you own in your home) is freezing cold. we can not sit anywhere near that side of the apartment.\r

I have had issues with noisy neighbors before in other apartments, so before we moved in, i asked if the person above us would be able to make any noises that would get through to us. she said no. there is a lot of barrier between residents... How can this girl that can not weigh more than 100lbs sound like godzilla doing aerobics? and our neighbor that lives in the building next to us is up all hours of night, and talks on her phone outside and we hear it as if she is yelling inside our apartment.\r

I am in the last days of my pregnancy, and after seeing the parking, i was very unhappy that i had to talk a quarter of a mile (no exaggeration) from my car to the apartment. During January it was extremely icy and i had almost fallen twice because no one clears the drives. Managment said they were sorry but there was nothing that they could do. they could not give me any special treatment. The next time it snowed I did fall and was hurt. Thankfully the baby is ok. but it did show me how much they actually care. I wasnt asking for a spot right in front of my apartment, but close enough where i did not have to worry about walking a long distance and slipping.\r

When we were finding a place to move out, we went in on the 4th of march to drop off our check and to say, (and i quote) ""this will be the last month we stay here. so what do we need to do?"" The woman said we were good and nothing else was needed. Well, now we are trying to move out but i was told that they needed it in writing! i was furiated! i told them that me and my boyfriend made it very clear that we would not be staying any longer and we needed to take care of that, and we were under the impression that the woman helping us noted that and we could leave at the end of the month. i asked if we needed anything else to be sure and she said no.\r

managment said that we could leave and not pay, but it would ruin our credit because we would still owe. They admit that it was their mistake that they did not take the steps they needed to, but it was still our problem and they would not do anything about the $500 we put down on our new apartment.
Pros: a roof over your head, great exercise walking from your car
Cons: management has the intellegence of a 3 year old.
