DO NOT LIVE HERE! My roommates and I decided to live here, our first apartment in college, and have had nothing but horrible experiences. Before considering living here, I strongly urge you to read below the numerous problems we have experienced, from the time we moved in, and ever since.
While we have called maintenance for what is fixable, they have come and performed a subpar job, only for the problems to arise again and often be worse.The staff is also completely unhelpful and seem to be trained to tell us lies in order to get out of the problem.
MOVE IN PROBELMS:
- Because of prior obligations, my roommates and I needed to move in early. We were told there was a $300 early move in fee and the unit would come "as is" (uncleaned), which we thought was absurd, so we decided to stay with friends for the week before the actual move in date
- When we finally moved in, the unit was disgustingly dirty and looked like it had still not been cleaned at all
- When calling and asking the size of the beds, they told us a "Full XL", so we bought customized sheets-- however, they were Full sized (again, the staff is extremely uneducated)
- Missing furniture
- Ripped up couch cushions
- Extremely damaged table
- Broken toilets
- Broken door lock
OTHER PROBLEMS:
- Mail fraud: twice have my roommates and I had gift cards sent from our parents taken-- when reporting, they told us there was nothing they could do about it
- HUGE SECURITY ISSUES: the entry and exit gate DO NOT CLOSE! The couple of times they have been closed (no more than 3 times total), the gate code did not work for entry.
- Broken elevator for 4 weeks
- Back door leading to the patio does not close all the way
- Washer and dryer have ruined numerous clothes and get lint all over clean laundry
- We are very busy and not home often, make sure we always turn lights off and keep our AC on a normal temperature, yet have gone over on our electricity EVERY month by a ridiculous amount (even though they said "$30 will be more than enough")
- Faulty fire alarm (goes off every time we open the oven)
- Leaky fridge
- Defective garbage disposal
This place does not feel like "home," and I would advise everyone against living here. There is so many places for the same price, that are MUCH better quality. Do yourself a favor and take The Scarlet off of your list.
