found mold
I found mold growing in my apartment, including on the ceiling and vents—areas explicitly mentioned in the leasing agreement as requiring management attention. When I reported it and requested proper cleaning, maintenance merely wiped one spot and left others untouched. After following up with clear pictures, management became immediately defensive, insisting it "100% wasn’t mold" and outright refusing to do anything further. Shockingly, the manager admitted she hadn’t even looked at the photos... before making this claim. Instead, I was told that if I “really cared,” I could buy my own mold testing kit and send it in to be tested.
Frustrated by the dismissive response, I told her i would do just that which then led to her saying she would put in a request to get it painted over—the test results ended up confirmed three different types of mold. Even with proof, management doubled down, refusing to acknowledge any wrongdoing. What should have been a straightforward request turned into a frustrating, month-long back and forth just to get my vents properly cleaned.
This experience left me deeply concerned about how management handles other maintenance issues. Their immediate defensiveness, refusal to take concerns seriously, and overall lack of professionalism make me question their commitment to resident safety. For example, I also had water damage on my wall that they ignored for a year before simply painting over it—no actual inspection or repairs.
TL;DR: Management was rude, dismissive, and more focused on denying issues than resolving them.
