It saddens me to have to write a negative review about moving into Lassen Village. My hopes of…read moremoving into this building were big. I jumped through the hops that the leasing office put me through, and I made it into the apartment. I was so excited. During the approval phase, the leasing office struggled to provide the accurate version of the application and lease. The forms were revised numerous times. Once the document was revised, the leasing team, Ashley and Jennifer, would rush me into getting me and my daughter to sign because I could lose the apartment if I didn't send back that same day, little comments like that. I am not upset that the forms required multiple revisions, that's not that problem. The problem was the approach from the leasing team. When I asked Jennifer for support on the final lease agreement, I was denied and told, just to go to the email. I asked if we could do it together on move in date since there seemed to be a step I was missing, and I was denied.
Moving day arrives, Saturday, 7/5/25. I made a mistake and previously selected the wrong liability amount, I attempted to adjust my policy two days prior the move in date but the renter's insurance company did not respond before my move in date. So, I had to buy a second lease on my move in date to ensure I didn't have to pay the Moving Company for nothing and it's a three-hour minimum, so I couldn't cancel my move in date. I accept the error on my behalf of not following the proper instructions to select the $300,000 limited liability. To correct my mistake, I purchased second policy until the renter's company can fix my initial policy. I had this corrected before asking for the keys. During the time I was talking to Jennifer about the revised renter's policy, her customer service skills were non-existent. She appeared annoyed with me and was short. To make matters worse, she told me she could change my move date if I couldn't get the revised policy. I was stunned at her suggestion since I had mentioned earlier in the conversation that the movers were loading up already. I found this disappointing because moving is stressful and I have not been unkind to Jennifer. This company wants a lot of details before moving in, that's fine, I provided it to them so I don't understand the animosity towards me. Some friendly and kind customer service would have been helpful on the day I was moving. Based on Jennifer's reply, I became frustrated and hung up the phone. I later realized that I had to take ownership of selecting the wrong policy amount, so I called Jennifer, and I apologized. We moved on from there without any issue. She thanked me for my apology. I went into the office, finalized what was needed from me, and I went on my day. I was not aware she was still upset with me and that Ashley would later confront me in a harsh tone about the past and resolved situation.
Come Tuesday, 7/8/25, I walk into the leasing office to show Ashley new pictures of the damage I am discovering in my unit as I unpack in certain areas. As soon as I mentioned I had pictures to show her, Ashley boldly stated how she would not have let me move in on Saturday without having a copy of my daughter's ID. Then her scolding rant continued until I interrupted her to defend myself because at that point, Ashley was mad and squinting her eyes as if she wanted to jump out of her desk share and lunge at me. Meanwhile, Jennifer sat at her desk quietly. Ashley then stood up and stated how I was rude to Jennifer on Saturday and how I was previously rude to Ashley. I then mentioned how Jennifer and I had addressed that situation respectfully and had move forward without any issues since then. Ashley also offered to cancel my leasing contract if I was dissatisfied. Please tell me who wants to hear about having to find a new place to live after paying $1,500 to a Moving Co. Ashley's approach was unprofessional. It felt like an ambush when I walked in there when I just needed support to get the issues in my apartment corrected. For example, the corners of the wall and ceiling were not painted in several rooms. The shower stopper didn't have the proper stopper, the stove filter was full of drywall dust, the dishwasher has orange left over something in it, the bathroom cabinets had black dust. I will upload the pictures. The apartment was in horrific shape, but Ashley is upset because I didn't give her a copy of my daughter's ID? She didn't do a final apartment walk through.
The issue that made me write this review is a questionable comment made 7/9/25. This comment came from Vince in Maintenance. He stated, "if she keeps having issues with her apartment there's going to be an issue". I'd like to understand what he meant by what? What is his intention? Why am I at fault for the apartments poor condition?
My daughter heard him from the hallway.
I emailed the Applications guy, Alex Diaz, but I have not gotten a response from him. I can't even ask for my mail box key.
