Review for Rental Professionals Apartments

Upon moving in, there was mold on the window sills. This was apartment number 1. I had to clean the window sills twice per week with a bleach mix to prevent the mold growth! I suggested a mold resistant paint for the unprotected wooden window sills and was denied. (Imagine the effect on your hands). My dishwasher did not work. My sink sprayer did not work. There were bugs in the light fixtures and I had to clean everything before moving in, with the help of a friend. In April 2009, I moved to a downstairs apartment. The reason? Because the people in the apartment below me did not like hearing my kids play in the bedroom at 2 in the afternoon. When my kids were out of town with grandparents 80 miles away, they claimed they heard them screaming and playing with a bball. So they played music at 11 pm so loud my glass ware fell off the counter! In the end, my family ended up having to move to a downstairs apartment. This caused me to pay out $185 in expenses (cleaning, boxes, tape) and to miss 2 days of work (a total of $113 in gross pay). Within 2 weeks I was demoted due to this and took a pay cut of 90 cents. By June, we could pay all but $60 of the rent and said it would be paid in July at the latest with the next month's rent. Keep in mind, when I moved into this apartment (#3), there was problems with that dishwasher, the garbage disposal and sink sprayer...as well as a bug infestation before we moved in! I took pics of everything before moving in since no one did the walk through with me. It took 2 months and 2 letters to get the first three things fixed. They claim the bug problem is that we have candy and food on the floor and on the windows. When we paid our rent this month, we paid the $60 from last month and all but $60 for this month. They were told they would have it by the fifth (last day due without late fees). They called us and said either by the end of the day or they would give us a 3 day evict! I was livid. Needless to say, I was made out to be a liar and filthy tenant. I am now looking into hiring a lawyer to retrieve my losses from having to change apartments because someone didn't like kids. They still haven't fixed the ant/bug issue - we can't even play in the yard! I have so many more complaints. I'll update as the issues come up.
