Ever since I have moved in the AC has NOT worked leaving my place unbearably hot. I have to go outside in the summer heat to cool down and there solution was to just open a window when back inside. During the summer! I have been asking multiple times for them to fix this and have started to research legal options about what I can do I.e withholding rent. This also includes the fact I don't always have hot water, which is another landlord requirement for an apartment to be livable. There have been various occasions where I just never had hot water or had the water running for as long as a show to make it lukewarm. I even repeatedly checked on it throughout the whole time to see if it would warm.
Additionally, while I was on vacation their main waste line broke and had damaged the first floor. This isn't even the first time they've had trouble with their stuff. The power has gone out, they've had to turn off water because of another problem and now this. These are just things I remember and I've only lived here since the end of July. I don't even know when they are going to have someone come clean my apartment. But, knowing them it's going to take another three months for this to get done. They've never truly renovated any of the important parts of the building, which is why YOU CAN'T control the temperature. the whole AC system doesn't make sense and won't let you make your apartment cooler than the current temperature. So they make you buy all kinds of fans to cool yourself down, but this just increases your energy bill because of their inadequacy to actually fix or make changes. Despite the fact you are shelling over thousands of dollars every month for them to ensure our homes are adequate to live in. In addition to this, i had large volumes of important belongings still in boxes that have now potentially been ruined because of this waste line incident.
Also, if you live here, be prepared for outrageous additional fees they'll keep tacking as the year goes on. Want bad parking you may not even get? 30 dollars. Reserved parking? 75 dollars. Covered? 125 bloody dollars. dont want to pay for parking? Good thing there's street parking, but you better wake up before 8 or park there after 10 or else you'll have to pay Denver's ticketing fee. Then the pool is always dirty. I literally saw them use hose water to fill up the pool on more than one occasion. It wasn't even blue water. It was a weird tealish green. In addition to all of this, you'll have to pay 3.25 every time you'll want to do laundry. But, it has to be through an app, which needs all your information so you can have clean clothes.
Do NOT recommend living here until they get better management, update their outdated equipment so it's actually worth the money to live here, and do their jobs. Especially since rent is over 1,200 dollars a month for what was told to be a good place to live. It can be better one of the better places to live since it's right near the university and has all kinds of shops around it. But, actually living here is like you've given up on life and don't know where to go.
The maintenance guy is cool, though. Only cool and good thing about the place. read more
