Review History for candacepalmer

Sitting On The Fence

I've lived here for 11 months. Initially, people with the leasing office were extremely nice. However, after signing the lease it has been problem after problem. <br><br>First of all, I made the mistake of moving into a bottom level apartment. The only good thing that has come out of this experience is that I've adopted a stray cat that I love tremendously. On the other hand, there are bugs EVERYWHERE! I think that the inseticide the 'bug man' sprays does help some, but they still come in. I have only seen two cockroaches and have not seen any rats since I've lived here. Mainly I've just seen caterpillars, spiders, and mosquitos. In addition, my apartment has flooded twice since I've moved in...which is a huge hassle and huge liability if you don't have renters insurance. Both times they only replaced the carpet padding, but not the carpet itself. <br><br>The leasing staff for the most part is very unhelpful and inflexible. I've gone through multiple negotiations while attempting to transfer to a top level apartment. Every time the information they give me is different. Just recently, after the last flooding incident, they agreed to lower my rent to a reasonable price...after initially jacking it up 75$ more a month. I've found Linda and Cara to be the most helpful of the staff...Kim is horrible.<br><br>There have been several times I've seen some of the other tennents behaving poorly and have had to call the police to maintain order. Once my car was egged and nothing was done about it by the leasing staff. I have also heard gunshots go off at night, even though this is generally a fairly safe neighborhood. <br><br>Although there is a lot of traffic on Roswell Rd., I do like the location. It's convenient to Buckhead, 400, and 285. Also, it's near any store or restaurant you could ever want. <br><br>I am considering renewing my lease here if I don't find anything better, but I am keeping my eyes peeled.
