Apartment Review for South Slope - Richmond, VA

Moving in to my apartment set the tone for my experience..I was unable to view my apartment until the day I moved. reason being the unit was occupied until 6 days prior too, ( which i later found out from corporate after filing a complaint) My refrigerator was disgusting it was wet with some of the previous tenants onion skin still in the drawer. My freezer door was stuck shut... once opened it smelled of mold. The following morning I discovered Silver fish, moths,and tiny spiders. Spider webs that were in the ceiling that I could not reach. My electric heater never warmed my apartment but my bill was avg 130.00. One of my neighbors had a howling dog, which i reported 6 times before anything was done. The walls were so thin I could literally hear and indicate the video games and music played by my rear neighbors. The rent office ignored any complaints and the usual suggestion was to call the police or that they would TRY to call the neighbor, which never happened. i recorded the dog howling and played it for a leasing consultant when i gave my thirty day notice of leaving after 2 months in residence. At that time they asked for the neighbor to get rid of the dog. The parking was horrible. I was charged an extra 20.00 in rent ( which i was unaware of until lease signing) all because they claimed that I would be able to view my car from my apartment. there were only 4 visitor spaced for the section that i lived that were almost always taken by a residence. the rest of the visitors parking was in the front of the complex or my the laundry room, about 4 spaces, again always occupied. back to the apartment. the drip pans in my stove were soiled as well as the oven. There is no club house because regardless of if your are hosting an even the entire building is accessible to all residence because of the "work out area". This place is terrible. 2 months rent to leave was well worth more than each month rent to stay. Goodluck on your search for an apartment!!!
