Nightmare Apartment Experience: Avoid at All Costs!
I cannot emphasize enough how awful my experience was at Canterbury Court Apartments. It was nothing short of a nightmare. From the moment I moved in, it was clear that this place was a breeding ground for misery. Let me walk you through the long list of grievances I had to endure:
1 Insect Invasion: The bugs infesting my apartment were monstrous, with some being bigger than my thumb. It was like living in a horror movie! The pest control was not sufficient in ever resolving this despite that I... always had washed dishes and never left food out. Disgusting and unacceptable!
2 Draftiest Windows Ever: If you enjoy feeling the freezing winter air and hearing the constant whistling sound of wind gusts, then this place is perfect for you! The windows were so poorly sealed that I might as well have been living outdoors. It was impossible to maintain a comfortable temperature inside. Furthermore, the windows and blinds were broken and the windows didn’t even have screens.
3 Incompetent Rent Payment System: The management messed up my rent/AC payment not once, but twice! They accused me of not paying and caused unnecessary stress and confusion. Their accounting system was sloppy and unreliable, making it impossible to trust them with financial matters.
4 Ancient Appliances: The appliances in my unit were ancient relics from a bygone era. The sink faucet was so worn out that it wouldn't turn off, resulting in a near-flooding of my apartment. The lack of basic maintenance and updates was appalling and put my safety at risk.
5 Astronomical Rent Increase: The apartment was marketed as a "discount studio" with the claim that "many students live here." This misleading marketing tactic led me to believe that the rent would be reasonably affordable for a student. However, the reality couldn't have been further from the truth.To add insult to injury, the rent skyrocketed by nearly 40% within a year. This unjustifiable increase left me struggling to make ends meet. It's clear that the family-owned business prioritizes profit over tenant satisfaction.
In conclusion, I strongly advise against renting at Canterbury Court Apartments. The experience was nothing short of a living hell. The bugs, drafty windows, incompetent management, ancient appliances, lack of amenities, sky-high costs, rent hike, and much more made my time there unbearable. Save yourself the agony and look elsewhere for a decent place to call home.
