  Disgusted with how I've been treated by management at Locale. Had no issues my first few months but moved into a new unit and immediately started getting sick. Furnace drain pan had a leak, causing walls and floor around utility closet to become water damaged. Coil inside furnace was filled with dirt and mold. Keep in mind this was an "inspected" apartment I'd just moved into. Maintenance replaced the coil but did not properly remediate the apartment or check for mold inside walls/floor. I continued getting sick, manager Porter moved me into another "inspected" unit which also had mold inside the furnace, and dead bugs on my bed. Community manager Adam seems to only care about collecting rent, my health concerns fell on deaf ears until I threatened to stop paying. I was moved into a third unit which has now tested positive for unsafe levels of mold, yet management still demands I pay rent. Health inspector wouldn't act because mold isn't visible (presumably in the walls/floor). I'm now being treated for an inflammatory illness caused by the mold exposure I experienced at Locale. I couldn't finish my semester as planned partly because I didn't have a safe place to live. Locale has terrible communication and laughable management. I will say front desk staff were always kind and helpful, and maintenance did well on smaller fixes, but seemed unequipped to handle bigger issues. Update in response to reply from the property: This issue has not been “fully addressed.” The air quality test being referred to was taken in a previous unit, not where I’m currently located. My own dust test has proved my current apartment has unsafe levels of mold. It is a laboratory test. Air tests are not accurate in determining if a building will cause health issues. They don’t take into account dead spores or mold inside walls/floors. Locale does not take resident concerns seriously, and management will find any way possible to dismiss and invalidate you.

  Living at locale has been my favorite spot to live around Allendale! The front desk is always so friendly and my favorite part is being able to get hot chocolate from the clubhouse whenever I want!
