We rented a third story apartment in December, and moved in right after Christmas. We moved out in the first half of March. We loved the large apartment. However the management here is awful. They allow dogs in the apartment complex, so we got a corgi. If you have a dog, you know that they will bark when someone knocks on the door, they need to go out, or are wanting to play Ect. So when we got a complaint about noise, we worked on it. We never left him alone. We both work from home, and if we needed to go to the store, he came with us. We got a mussel for him, and felt horrible that if he just wanted to play we had to put it on him, in fear it would bother the neighbors. There are others dog owners in the building also by the way. They are owned by some very nice people. Every time we left our apartment they would bark and carry on, but we understand that is normal and never complained about this very normal behavior. We then started getting complaints about other noise. Like fighting, and loud music, and dropping things on the floor. Which was not happening. It's very hard to prove that you are not making noise, it basically your word vs theirs. So we went to the office and talked to Howard. We had all agreed that he would tell anyone complaining about noise to come knock on our door, so we would know right then what we were doing, so we could figure out what the noises were they were hearing. No one ever knocked on our door.. Yet we still got more complaints and desist notices on our door.
The woman that lived below us would pound on the ceiling when we were just sitting on the sofa working on or computers at 7pm. We had no music on, no tv and the dog was sleeping. We went and knocked on her door, and she didn't answer.
We also contacted the office a few times about the person that parks next to us in the assigned parking.( which happens to also be the woman below us) she would park her car so close, I couldn't get in or out of my car. I will post a picture on here if it if I can. We were told then, that they can't do anything about it until we left a note on her car, and if she doesn't stop they would talk to her. It didn't stop after leaving a note. So we contacted them again... We were told they couldn't do anything. We were told that we had to knock on her door and have her mover her car. And of course no answer.
We had to pay a couple thousand dollars to move out before our lease was up. We were tired of living life in fear of everything we did would bother the woman below us. I was so disgusted with those people, I didn't even do a walk through when we moved out. I didn't want to even see their faces again.
They treated us like outcasts. We never felt at home. read more
