      Horrible management with zero communication. Applied and was accepted 3 months in advance of move in date and I had to follow up daily to receive my lease to sign. They didn't provide until 3 days before I was expected to move in, which caused me to have to delay my move and relocate my belongings into storage as I couldn't get confirmation that the unit would be ready and lease conditions acceptable until just days before. Unit issues occurred throughout our tenancy. AC stopped working in 90/100* weather and we could not contact anyone to help. Maintenance accidentally turned off our heat in very cold weather and it was difficult to get ahold of someone to help. Water leaking into our unit in various places causing walls to crack/crumble and paint to sag. Maintenance simply put plaster over it and left as it. Wasn't even sanded down or painted over and the actual issue was never fixed. Neighbors constantly smoking pot and filling up our entire unit making it extremely unpleasant and unsafe for my asthmatic daughter. Management was virtually impossible to contact and once they did respond their only solution was to send an email to tenants to remind of the no smoking policy. Our only option was to leave as soon as our lease ended. Contacted the office to ask how to notify that we would not be renewing our lease. They said information should have been sent to us to give 60 days notice of vacating, however that information was never sent and it was already beyond the 60 day notice period. After information was sent, again no response or acknowledgement that they have received the information. Would never recommend this place under it's current management.
