As new renters, we were excited to find a place labeled as "newly renovated" and although slightly pricey, we went for it. The first night, someone tried to get into our apartment, jiggling the doorknob repeatedly, and then running away. We put in a request for a peephole but 4 months later, not a word.
Our apartment doesn't have a phone jack but there are definitely cockroaches aplenty, running despite the half-assed exterminator procedure. The halls have ceiling leakage and water damage, and the heat is at least 80 degrees half the time, and freezing the other half.
This place is so ghetto ridiculous, don't waste your money! We're going to see if we can leave early...
