DO NOT MOVE HERE — Management Does Not Care About You
My boyfriend and I moved in shortly after Pegasus took over, and the experience was a nightmare from day one. It took them over a month just to approve our application — which should have been the first warning sign.
In just eight months, our hot water would shut off without notice, the AC/heat broke multiple times, and maintenance requests sat unanswered for weeks or months. When someone finally showed up, the “repairs” were nothing more than sloppy, temporary band-aids. No matter how urgent the issue, management’s only response was the same empty line: “please bear with us.”
In March, a pipe burst at 1 AM, flooding nearly every townhouse. Our carpet was drenched, and it took more than an hour for anyone from management to respond. Their so-called “fix”? Replace the padding, shampoo the old carpet, set up a few fans, and saw down our doors so they would shut, after multiple requests about broken doors. Mold testing requests were ignored as well. Zero accountability. Zero concern for safety.
Soon after, mold appeared on our ceiling. We requested proper testing, but instead of addressing it, management literally painted over it. Weeks later, we discovered extensive mold contamination throughout the unit — in our walls, vents, clothes, and furniture. We lost thousands of dollars in damages and were left living in unsafe, uninhabitable conditions.
Emails with photos were ignored. In-person complaints were brushed aside. Pam, the property manager, pushed everything off to her regional manager who never showed, while her assistant outright suggested we clean the mold ourselves. Many neighbors experienced the same problems, and management still did absolutely nothing.
We were forced to hire a tenant-rights attorney and break our lease early just to get out. The complete lack of care, accountability, and respect for residents’ health is shocking. They are now trying to charge us an $1,800 lease breakage fee, even though we have completely taken the legal route. On top of that, we are only in this situation because of their lack of care for the tenants safety.
This property is unsafe, mismanaged, and run by people who do not care about you or your well-being. Do yourself a favor: avoid Aberdeen at all costs.
