Appling Lakes

I'm surprised this apartment complex has not been run into the ground by the Manager Kathleen! She is not management material treats the tenants like dirt, well unless you are a Police officer, a fireman, a teacher, or other wise recognized individual in the community.



DO NOT MOVE HERE !



The last straw for me was the neighbor upstairs had a water leak. So rather than taking care of it correctly they left my apt. soaked. After about the fourth day of no one doing anything I went to the office and complained about the mold growth that was starting on my walls. Kathleen immediately got defensive and told me that it was not mold and that It will be taken care of.



There remedy was to come over and wipe the walls off with a cloth. Which in turn spread more spores through out my house.



I was paying almost 1,000 a month to live in a two bedroom apt. My lease just expired the same month so I let them know that I was moving. She stated that I cannot move out and must let me know by the 6th of the month other wise I will break my month to month lease and be penalized. My rent has increased to 1,400 for my month to month lease.



In order to get out of my month to month lease I had pay $400 to a Mold Inspector to come out and test. Sure enough the Tests came back as Highly elevated mold (Aspergillum).



So after moving out of Appling lake Apt. I had to dispose of 75% of the things I owned and start over.



Just one of my experiences with them !

No heat in the winter no air in the summer only half of the pool pump works and 25 mexicans in ever 2 bedroom apartment on site the security gate never works and to top it off on site security could not stop thieves from taking all four of my friends rims and tires off his car and they sat it on one log great place

I have lived here at this complex for 5years and it used to be great; Resident functions, friendly staff, savings or promotions on units. But, until recently; I have seen how stingy the staff and perhaps the company have become. Unlike, other apartment complexs who welcome thier residents with treats and goodies they are now only for the "prospectors." Honestly, for the most part; that is very rude and if you want to only be for the prospects put a sign out. First having worked perviously at apartment complexs before, this kind of behavior is unprofessional. Especially, when your having staff treating residents who have been here forever like a criminal or a child. The residents parties are non exsit anymore, the friendly staff you can see are being run done and not getting the vacation times they deserve. (Therefore being snippy.) They used to have 4 women working. Now only down to 3. They have been cutting a lot of corners and frankly for how much they are charging residents for these apartments, it should not be a problem. As well as remodeling hasn't been finished yet, I still see the playground not completed or in fact if any plans to redo it will ever go through. As well as, for the community inside. It has gone very ghetto not worth the money for what I am paying. In this community, the new residents have been reving thier car engines at all hours, residents moving around heavy objects in thier apartment late at night, screaming outside talking at all hours, screaming at each other inside as well,(using foul language) doing drugs right outside, on thier balconies and in thier car while children are out. garbage starting to pile up in the woods, and people still not picking up after thier dog. I have worked for many apartment companies and this is not how residents are to be treated; if any of my former employers saw these employees act how they are; they would be fired after 3 warnings to control thier attidues. I get it you are going to have really eccentric residents. But, I never ever treated my residents like this, and if it was something that was above me we would take it up with the property manger. Due to all these new issues; this complex is starting to show signs of poor choices and poorly done screening. Taking that into the situation I am still convinced that they are taking section 8 housing with all the chaos. I know they say they have officers on the premises; but I see them once in a blue, when in fact 2 years back, I would see them all the time. I cannot wait to leave this place, it is going down hill and it's sad for how beautiful the units are, and how the remodeling is making them stunning. In all Reality, The new company needs to take a costumer service classes, and train their employees. If not, I only see the worst, in the future for this complex.

Sincerely,

Someone who has been in coustmer service for years, and refuses to be treated without the highest respect for what I pay here!

I've never seen anything like this place. The management team here sucks. They come into your apartment without sending around notices. The police are always being called because there is so much crime going on: car break-ins, car tags being stolen, fights, extremely noisy. When you first move in they don't tell you that your water bill will be separate from your MLGW bill. I'm use to that but they don't give you any type of warning and it's a whopping additional $30. I've been here 11 months and they have changed out their maintenance people more than a person change out their undies. When I first moved in my apartment it was nasty, dark stains & bleach stains on the carpet. The refrigerator, stove, & bathroom where not properly cleaned. I wouldn't recommend any one to move here. All yeah, it took them forever to get my stove to work & still to this day the stove eyes work when they want to. Move here at your own risk. When you drive through here and see that they have a lot of constant empty apartment you know why. Jenni Martin the property manager sucks. Don't be fooled by her when you first meet her.
