I was told a lie I was under false pretence to get my application fee and then told the truth and couldn't get my $100 back

Horrible place to live
I've lived here for 14 months why, because the rent is cheap for a family of 5. They do not repair anything. The maintenance team blame everything on the contractors so they feel they should not fix anything. We once had a management team that spoke kindly. Now everyone in the office has an attitude. Water has been leaking from my ceiling in the kitchen since I moved in. It has not been fixed. The tech will say they will go in the opening to see what's going on and never do. This is far the... worst place to live. If your credit is good and you can afford to live somewhere else please do so. Don't move here.

Roaches
This place is disgusting and horribly ran. No clubhouse, playground is broken, apartments are very run down, roach INFESTED, and homeless people everywhere. Do not recommend! Also, keep a receipt EVERY time you pay rent or they will tell you every single month you owe thousands in back pay and lie about it!!

A lot of problem with maintenance and cockroaches
there is a shorty who is rude in the offices . don't pick up the phone, they take long time to fix things, I went to the office today 9/30/22 to have the floor fixed, I've been waiting more months for it to be fixed and they told me that when I move they will fix it, ask x my deposit when I moved in and they told me they didn't know what was going to happen to my deposit.
many cockroaches do not come to do the pet control because I have guess or put many excuses. One of the maintenance guy... come inside the apt. With cigarettes.

DO NOT COME HERE
New management took over in December and it has been worse since then. (It was already pretty bad) My heat and air has been out since January and is still not fixed. It has been looked at a few times, but they refuse to have someone come out who can diagnose the problem. They patched it up for a couple days, but have not been back in over a week since it went out. Keep these things in mind before you rent:
They are raising their rents.
There is mold in these apartments.
There are roach... infestations here.
Electrical issues exist inside the units.
IF YOU HAVE A MAINTENANCE EMERGENCY NO ONE WILL FIX IT!!!
