Hello.
My housemate and I have some observations about the (for her and I) huge investment in our new apartment complex' version (2022) of apartment living.
We were shown the model, as the unit available was being "cleaned".
In the 3 days since she and I have moved in, we have noticed:
Dirty windows
An arbitrarily emptied doggie dumpster in front of our stairs
Front door Entry way chewed up by a dog, it seems.
Blinds on windows all mangled
Leaky toilets (fixed, but why were they? Did anyone do a QC?)
Cracked concrete all over the "deck"
No window in the living room
Small, almost inhuman bathrooms
Old and dirty appliances. A last-minute cleaning remedied much of this.
We saw the model and based our choice on that. This looks like an old, old, unkempt place, a sort of last resort for your company. Do we have recourse?
The thing we want most is a bright living room, but the second-most prescient want is the rent to remain the same. If these remedies are beyond the realm of the landlord/corporation, we would like to pursue something else. Keep in mind, we would have to move, yet again, under the best of circumstances.
But we are unhappy. This is a shabby unit, and no amount of flowery chicanery will change that. We are not students. We are professionals.
