1. After arriving from out of state with movers after having signed a lease weeks before, we found the apartment filthy and unpainted. Appliances filthy, bathrooms gross, fireplace full of ashes.

I never received any feedback and thought it was resolved UNTIL we had a late fee applied for every month we lived there, because we supposedly hadn't paid the pro-rated rent amount from the first month. $300 plus late fees on a $40 difference in the first month's rent? I tried to resolve this via phone calls (they don't answer their phones so you leave a voicemail that is never returned), and a personal visit to the onsite manager who claimed she'd tried to resolve the issue every month without success. She said there was nothing she could do, which is the stock answer you get for just about everything.
