DO NOT LIVE HERE. Living at this apartment complex has been the worst renting experience. First, I signed a lease for a unit a few weeks before I moved in, on move in day, the leasing office realized they leased out the wrong apartment. We had to redo the lease to correct for the mistake. OK fine. Then, a few days later, the leasing office made all kinds of mistakes on the new lease, we had to go back in MULTIPLE times to sign and correct the new paper work. After a few days, I soon realized that the apartments are garbage. Every step you take will be heard by your neighbors and you will hear every step your neighbor takes, thanks to paper thin walls. Also, maintenance is horrible, we had a leaky water faucet. Instead of repairing with new or usable parts, maintenance guy uses good old fashioned elbow grease to jimmy up some temporary fix that lasted a day or two. A selling point was the hot tub, only the hot tub has been broken the entire 10 months I've lived here. So, I'm paying for luxuries that cannot be used. Also, the gym is tiny and most the equipment is broken and or missing weights. They have two treadmills, but guess what? one is broken. Good luck trying to get in a run on a cold day. Or, that 55lbs weight you want to use, gone. Then, there is the horrible leasing office/management. If you want to be treated like a piece of meat, Parliament is the place for you. They don't care. My mail box was broken into and my student refund check was stolen and cashed (it was worth a few G's). I went to the leasing office to explain that my refund check was stolen and if there was anything they could do to help. The manager was so rude and treated me like I was the one who stole the check. He pretty much told me to piss off. And guess what? the mail boxes were unusable for over a month and a half, there was no urgency to have them fixed. And last, I turned in the "60 day notice to vacate the parliament apts" 21 days late. I'm human, busy, had lots of things going on. I didn't think it would be a big deal, I was giving the apt over a month in advance notice of my leaving. I figured they would be cordial and forgiving. NOPE. I am now going to pay 21 days extra rent, about $1,000, though I'm still moving out on my lease termination date.
Overall, My experience was horrible and negative. Management doesn't care about the tenants. The leasing office is incompetent. Maintenance, well, what maintenance? The unit itself, garbage, paper thin walls, cheaply built. Gym, small missing weights, machines broken. Hot tub, broken. Please learn from me and DO NOT LIVE HERE
