DO NOT LIVE HERE !!!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Absolutely nothing - you can commiserate together with neighbors on how horrifying management is.
Cons:
I cannot condense everything horrible that has happened to us in the past 3 years of living here into this section. We currently have mushrooms growing out of our ceiling and black mold that management has ignored, led us on saying they would fix it, and then never fixing the issue. I have been sick the past few weeks and am going to the doctor because of the mold.
We’ve had mice the entire 3 years of being here, no matter how many times the exterminator comes. We’ve consistently had cockroaches throughout the apartment as well. We’ve had to pay out of pocket for extermination and have yet to be reimbursed.
A couple other worthy mentions: our door is broken and no one has fixed it, our wood floors are chipping and broken, there has been constant leaks in our bathroom and under our sink.
Trust me when I say that A&E is actually the scum of the earth, please never rent here.
Advice to owner:
Check yourself and do your job or you’ll have many many more lawsuits coming your way
