SHORT VERSION- Geigo the Apt Manager failed to give us notice of a major pluming job happening in our entire unit, we came home to our apartment filled with men ripping apart our place.
This went on for over 10 days and even though we had no running water, and debris all over our house Geigo deemed it "livable"
Pictures below are what we were suppose to live in for 2 weeks.
We lived in Apt 3171 for a little under 2 years.
In August after leaving my apartment my home was entered and personal property was tossed around without my knowledge or consent to prepare for " plumbing work " that was not communicated from the leasing office. The pluming company came into the apartment and had no regard for our items. Everything had been piled up in the tub, thrown about in our bedroom piled up the bed, and in the kitchen sink.
There was no running water from 8 am-6 pm daily, when they did this pluming work. There were multiple holes in the ceiling that I could see my upstairs neighbor's house through, limiting our privacy. The contracted workers left trash in our home that I had to clean daily so neither myself, fiancé or my pets become harmed by what's left behind. The noise levels were loud. My fiancé works from home and it caused issues with his job and work ethic, because he is not physically able to leave during the. Our day-to-day lives were affected by this unannounced work. No other viable options were given to us. There was talk of placing us in a hotel but once I asked the leasing manager for this in writing, the story changed quickly to either we could vacate the apartment in 10 days or take 200 dollars off the rent. To hear that during middle of an ongoing pandemic shows me that Decatur Flats and Lincoln Properties doesn't care about their tenant's wellbeing. Everything that we have experienced is inexcusable, disgusting and stressful. We literally lived in a trashed apartment for a week while scrambling to find a new place.
In the other months of us being there we had two major pluming floods, lots of weeks with no trash pick up, weeks with no communication for minor apartment repairs, and major safety issues with lights constantly being out in the breezeway hallways, by trash and mail center. read more
