I would not recommend this management company based on my experience as a resident at Aero Apartments.
Our apartment had a serious year-round humidity issue that contributed to mold growth throughout the unit. We found mold around the A/C/PTAC units, in light fixtures, near walls/vents, on furniture, shoes, desks, desk chairs, a coffee table, picture frames, and personal belongings. Mold on the A/C units was so bad it left permanent stains on the vents. There was also a hole underneath the A/C unit that appeared to let in outside air, moisture, bugs, and who knows what else. We documented humidity levels, visible mold, damaged belongings, and communication with management.
I was sick for about a month while living there. My doctor connected my symptoms to mold exposure and provided a doctor's note. When I brought this to the property manager, she showed little to no empathy and laughed. When we asked if we could be released from our lease because of the conditions, she laughed again and said, "They aren't letting you out of your lease." Switching units was not presented as an option either. It felt like the expectation was for us to remain in the unit for the rest of the lease despite the mold, humidity, health concerns, and damage to our belongings.
The attempted "remediation" was not adequate. We were given two moisture bags for our closets and allowed to borrow a dehumidifier for a couple of weeks before being asked to return it because other residents needed it. Even with the dehumidifier, our humidity levels stayed around 85-90%.
My biggest concern with this management company is the lack of urgency, empathy, and accountability. When residents report mold, high humidity, damaged belongings, and health concerns, the response should not feel dismissive or blame-shifting. Residents should not have to hire their own inspector just to feel taken seriously.
I truly do not want anyone else to go through what we went through. If you are considering renting from this management company, be careful. Do not sign a lease without touring the actual unit you will live in. Do not let anyone pressure or scare you into signing before you feel comfortable. Ask specific questions about humidity, mold, A/C or PTAC maintenance, ventilation, prior water issues, and what they will actually do if your unit becomes unsafe.
Based on my experience, this management company was not worth the stress, health concerns, damaged belongings, or the way we were treated. This was one of the worst rental experiences I have ever had, and I would strongly encourage future residents to look elsewhere. read more
