I became a resident at Grand Venetian at Las Colinas on 2/28/20 & signed a lease sight unseen, because the model apartment they showed me was beautiful, DESPITE reading the very detailed reviews from so many others. I was promised I wouldn't have the same horrific experiences as those other reviewers. Why didn't I trust my community of fellow reviewers? I've asked myself this EVERYDAY for the past 3 weeks! I noticed the front door looking like crap, before I moved in. But was sure they'd make it over before my move-in. I WAS WRONG & gullible. ROACHES GALORE! Moving day, several baby roaches in the kitchen sink. I thought this was normal for an empty apartment, I'm not a roachologist! They sent Maintenance over & as soon as he opened the dishwasher, more roaches! I was mortified! He poured lye down all drains & dishwasher. He said it'd "kill them all". Pest control came 2 days later, full treatment, the next morning I awoke @ 5am with a roach crawling up my neck, as if to say "hey! What are you doing in my bed? I thought it was my imagination until I woke up an hour later to discover the mangled, dead roach I'd thrown across the room, on my pink sweater. I went to the office & said I couldn't live there until the roaches were gone! I was called later that day & told to come by the office & pick up a key to move into the on-site, exec suite apartment. I've been living in the suite my entire residency. They bombed the apartment, but the roaches are resilient in this community. After the bombing they sent a cleaner over to "clean". Thank God I have cameras. While at work, I received a notification & witnessed horrendous acts of their "cleaners". She arrived with a mop, a man who had a broom and a bucket full of sprays and cleaning supplies. She did not remove one thing from the bucket (which should've been used for mopping right)!?? The guy swept ahead of her as she (get this) stuck her disgusting mop straight into my sink and dripping wet, all over my counter, took the mop into the living room to wet the floor with the water running the whole 3 minutes she was there to "clean". She then wet the mop one more time, while she stood in front of the bathroom mirror and played with her hair, then pulled her leggings up properly. This "cleaner" preceded to take the mop out the sink once again dripping and began mopping. When she stopped in front of the bedroom door, she began flipping something off of the panel wood floor in a flinging motion toward the bedroom carpet. I had no idea what she was doing, as I couldn't see the floor on camera (wait for it though)... she mopped all of one minute and just like that descended downstairs and out the door. When I went into the apartment the next day I realized she'd flicked a dead roach out of her mopping path straight onto my brand new fresh laid carpet in the bedroom. Disgusting! I filled out the pre-existing conditions for the disgusting tile floor in the downstairs entrance that I was told "they will not do anything about it". The panel wood flooring upstairs is scratched throughout. The stairs at the entrance are disgusting and, although I don't wear shoes indoors, I have to wear them on the sticky, dirty stairs. Under the bathroom counter are unknown dirty marks, my daughter says "mommy I think that comes from roaches". The garage smells like bowel, I can only speculate, but being how nasty the previous tenants may have been, my belief is they had a dog living in and pooping in the garage. I've been dealing solely with the roach infestation and hadn't even had the chance to address anything else. Unfortunately for me, I moved from a very nice apartment community in Euless to be in Las Colinas and a mile from my job. I never would've expected to be living like this in the very upscale town of Las Colinas & instead my quality of life has diminished. Today I came over to check the apartment, as the pest control guy who came 2 days ago & said he didn't see any activity, roach in the bathroom. Sigh, when I received a call from the office today they are asking me if I want to get out of my lease and find another place to live. It's sad it's come to this, rather than using quality pest control services and actually preparing an apartment for a new move-in, they just throw it together knowing there's a HISTORY of a ROACH INFESTATION PROBLEM (READ THE OTHER REVIEWS ABD BELIEVE IT, DON'T FALL FOR THE MODEL APARTMENT AND FRIENDLY STAFF)!RENTER BEWARE!!!!!!!!! A maintenance or pest control guy came into the apartment when I was not present & urinated, sloppily splashing it on my lid cover.
BTW: I have to be out of the temporary suite, because they need it for someone else on the first!
