Me and my wife were lured into this dump with a 32" flat screenTV... Need I say more? Neither of us thought anything of it at thetime, giving away a 400$ TV to new tenants, but shortly after we foundout why.
#1. Walking into the building through the entrance our apartment isclose to, which I'm sure the lady that showed us this unitintentionally avoided, is filthy. The floors and carpeting are verydirty and badly stained/soiled. I can only assume is from pet excrementand also from the maintenance workers never vacuuming or shampooing thecarpet.
#2. Going to get the mail on our first day our entire block ofmailboxes has been pried away from the wall and the boxes on the end, including ours, have had the doors pried open so many times that thedoors will not close.
#3. Being awakened in the morning by an upstairs neighbor's dogsbarking and howling, which from the amount of dogs you can hear, areapparently running a dog shelter out of their apartment. There's atleast 6 dogs and I'm sure that it states clearly in the lease "1 dogonly".
#4. While on the subject of dogs the management doesn't care about therules about animals like the size being under 30 lbs, or anything elsefor that matter.
#5. The day I moved in, and just about every day there are peopleworking on their cars in the parking lot. My wife and I were CLEARLYtold that the management would not tolerate anyone working on their, orany vehicle whatsoever in the parking lot.
#6. On our initial tour of the apartment we noticed the window screenin the bedroom was missing, the patio door glass panes were filled withcondensation and the dinette light was burned out. We had been promisedby the management that ALL of these things would be fixed before ourmove in date, which was about 2 weeks from when we applied and toured. After 7 weeks of calling the office constantly, at least once daily, and hearing all sorts of different excuses, we had finally gotten ourscreen. I replaced the bulb myself after waiting over a week and nobodyfixing it. And lastly, our patio door, 4 months later has still notbeen replaced.
#7. The Ramsey County Sheriffs are constantly driving around in the parking lot doesn't exactly make me feel safe and cozy.
#8. Easily one of the most disgusting and intolerable aspects of livingin Montreal Courts: THE RODENTS, namely mice, but also there is asevere ant infestation as well. It started out with a few mouse poopsin the lower kitchen cabinets. Then our food started getting chewed upand the bottoms of our pans in cupboards and under the stove were alsofilled with mouse hair and urine. I purchased traps myself and caught afew mice, but we still hear them in the walls. And now the ants. I hadnoticed a few ants roaming around and thought nothing of it until Ipulled an unopened box of donuts out of the cabinet and took a bigbite... Of ants. The entire box was swarming with grease ants and thecabinet, the side of the cabinet, underneath the cabinet and going downthe wall and the counter top were also crawling with ants.
