Rosewood Rentals - Unprofessional

 
Reviewed by: Anonymous
Review Date: 6/11/2009
Rented: 2008 To 2009
 
I've lived in this apartment since June 2008 and my lease is up June 30, 2009. Since day one everything has been handled very unprofessionally. When I first moved in the place was not cleaned, there was green mold covering all of the baseboards and the bottom of the bathroom door. The kitchen cabinets still had food spilled inside. The bathroom was wiped down but not cleaned at all. This should have been cleaned when my lease started and I had to clean it up. Everything I pointed out to my landlord (Ajith Antony) would take him weeks or months to get around to. Simple things like the newly installed windows would not lock (and I live on the bottom floor). To the bathroom linoleum was not caulked and water was getting under the floor, creating mold and the bathroom smelling very bad. It took almost three months for this problem to be fixed, and it wasn't even fixed right. I've had maintenance men walking in and out of my apartment, twice while I was showering, unannounced and conveniently carrying a copy of my key. In the winter the furnace went out for almost a month, it was less than 40 degrees every day in my apartment. Ajith took a very long time to resolve this. Ajith has very little communication with these maintenance guys. Every time I called for a followup of when to expect them to be done, Ajith had no idea. When I got new neighbors in August they would party very loud until late in the morning (4-7am.) I complained to Ajith about the noise hoping he would take care of it and finally in March, 8 months later, he contacted them about it. The problem still continues, I've called the police when the music is loud past 2am. Ajith did not handle the situation or seem to care about the rules in the lease, stating that tenants do not disturb other tenants in any way. Now at the end of my lease he's showing my apartment. I've asked him for a 24-hour notice before he brings someone over and today he appeared unannounced while I was in the bedroom sleeping. Everything is so unprofessional with him. Instead of apologizing he told me I should be more prepared for showings. You can browse his website for rentals (http://www.cuforrent.com/) but some information is missing. Like average bills from previous tenants. During showings I continually hear him claim the highest bill in the winter was $180 but obviously he wouldn't know that. I corrected him the highest bill was $205. The only thing I give good stars for in the rating is Parking. There's a plot in the back for free parking, but my car was broken into earlier in the year. It's not a good neighborhood, there's a lot of shady people and loud parties.

My next apartment is across town and $200 more but it'll be worth every extra dollar. Living under Rosewood Rentals has been the most frustrating, unprofessional rental experience I've ever had. Ajith Antony doesn't maintain good relationships with his tenants and like most landlords he just cares about money.
