Autumn Wood Apartments

This is my first apartment. My lease started in September and I remember seeing roaches here on the first day. Most were dead, so I figured it was because pest control just came by and the issue would go away. It didn’t. I saw 5 – 10 roaches every day my first week. What’s worse is that I got roach bites on my arms and legs while I slept. I didn’t know that roaches can bite; but they do. They bite humans in cases of infestations, when they’re desperate. My boyfriend sealed every visible crevice with sealant. I set roach gel and roach baits in the corners. I still saw 5 – 10 roaches every day, except half would be dead and half would be running around. Disclaimer: I am an extremely clean person. I’m a germaphobe and am OCD when it comes to cleaning. Any dish or cup I use is washed immediately with hot water and soap. I throw the trash out every day. The issue does not stem from my lack of cleanliness. It comes from the apartment complex. When I told the office, they had pest control come again and it did nothing. After 3 weeks and $ 80 of my OWN MONEY spent on roach killing materials, I finally did my apartment of roaches… until 6 months later, I saw 3 dead ones and 1 big one, alive– today. Unbelievable. By the way, when I told the office about the roach situation and the money I spent, they offered no sort of compensation. Also, maintenance takes forever to get done here. My window screen is slashed (it was slashed before I moved on) and it still hasn’t been changed out. The light bulb in my living room went out so I tried to replace it. It’s not a typical, generic light bulb so I couldn’t change it out. I asked them if they could have maintenance change it out. They said it’s not their responsibility. If you want to save yourself a life of stress and anxiety, please do not move in here. The only positive note I can give is that the office staff are friendly. Other than that, the apartment is not worth the price and I have been looking forward to the day my lease is up.
