8/23/2026 - Nothing has been done or fixed, big surprise.
See the attached images of items I put in over a week ago for fixing, including the dryer vent reading an 80% blockage when running. I purchased a new vent hose when moving, so it's not that.
You know exactly who I am, and I've spoken with management many times in person. I'm getting tired of 'in-person' discussions where nothing changes. Your solutions are lies, plain and simple.

8/16/2026 - Yesterday made 2 weeks since I received the keys to my apartment. I rented the unit online, DO NOT DO THIS. Since I didn't get to tour the unit itself, I didn't know how bad it would be. I came to a unit that had no working A/C, the previous tenants were smokers (also confirmed and witnessed by a neighbor), and the place had not been cleaned. Walking in, it was rank with cigarette smoke and body odor. The carpets had not been cleaned or replaced. I was told the unit had been painted, but there was no fresh paint smell, only cigarette smoke. I was told it had been cleaned, but that was hard to believe when finding cobwebs in the bathtub. When I asked for a secondary walk-thru on day one, no one showed up.
One of the attached images is a garbage bag full of what I vacuumed up myself. I had been asked if I could 'hold off' on moving in. Not an option with my living situation. I signed a legal contract that the unit was supposed to be ready on Day One. I was not offered another unit. Management had the carpets 're-cleaned' even as they tried to gaslight me into telling me it was done. I've asked twice to see a cleaning receipt; it has not been produced. Just because it was 'paid for', doesn't mean the work was actually done, especially without supervision of the vendor. The guy who showed up to clean the carpets confirmed it was never done in the first place. See the attached image of the extra run-off that was coming out of the carpet cleaning truck.
It helped, for about a day. The second bedroom was blatantly used for hotboxing, it's so bad that my eyes water just standing in there. I've been told that the carpet will be replaced in the second bedroom, but every time I ask for a date, the information is unavailable. I was given ozone generators, but the smell is so strong they didn't touch it. If it was painted, Kilz was not used first to kill off the smoke smell.
I still don't have A/C. In August. It's not just the A/C either; the whole unit does not work. I can't even run the furnace fan to circulate air. Temperature Pro has been out 3 times, only to say it's an electrical issue and that an electrician needs to be scheduled. An electrician was sent out, he tested everything, he says it's an hvac issue. So who's in the right? Either way I have no air. At move-in I was given one portable unit to cool a 2 bedroom apartment. Placed in the living room, do you think that was cooling the bedrooms? Last week I was finally given a second unit for the master bedroom, after complaining that it was 82 degrees in my bedroom every night. See the attached image. Do you see how it's stretched to the max? That's because the plug under the window doesn't work. Yes, it's attached to the light switch, but even with the testing of a lamp, it doesn't work. God only knows what this is going to do to my electricity bill as the portable units run pretty much continuously.
I did ask if another unit was available, to which I was told no. I'm paying for a second bedroom that I can't even use. So I'm stuck here, with all of my belongings soaking in stale cigarette smoke and my asthma acting up. You know it's bad when your moving team leader, who's a smoker, walks in and says "Oh, you got screwed."
This will be updated weekly, so the rating may change as things get made right/fixed. Hopefully, maybe. We'll see.
Yours truly,
