My experience with Garrettland was bad from the start When applying for a unit they want all of your personal information and that made me uncomfortable They even asked for the bank account number we had a car loan through I felt this was unnecessary I would not sign the lease until we saw the unit They acted as if that was very inconvenient for them I felt 2022-03-24T21:47:56Z
My experience with Garrettland was bad from the start When applying for a unit they want all of your personal information and that made me uncomfortable They even asked for the bank account number we had a car loan through I felt this was unnecessary I would not sign the lease until we saw the unit They acted as if that was very inconvenient for them I felt as though I was bothering the resident manager when we walked through the unit so we left quickly After we signed the lease and had the keys the real nightmare started The unit was in bad shape Water damaged cabinets cigarette burns in a NONSMOKING apartment in the carpet peeling paint in the bathroom that they promised to fix but never did I decided to clean the unit as best as I could because at the time we had no other options Upon cleaning I discovered urine on the baseboards We had not moved our stuff in yet when I also discovered the unit was INFESTED WITH FLEAS I contacted the resident manager and the regional manager After initially blaming us for the FLEAS they said they would send pest control No mention of when just that he would be coming The pest control man did not believe we had a bug problem and left without doing anything during the initial visit My family was being eaten alive by the worst FLEAS I have ever experienced and I kept calling for them to come treat the unit After several MONTHS of the pest control man halfaing his job he finally used something to get rid of them for good A major problem I had with the unit was that THERE WAS NO DEADBOLT LOCK Only a standard door knob with push button lock I felt unsafe in the complex even with the frequent police presence that was there My neighbor would smoke marijuana inside their unit that wasnt allowed per the lease and sometimes the smell would be so overwhelming that I paid money for a motel room just to get away from it money that I really didnt have in the first place My neighbor also stored nonoutdoor furniture on their back patio which attracted mice The mice ruined things that we had in our shed When we finally had enough and decided to move out I cleaned the apartment completely spotless I have worked in the cleaning business for quite some time so I dont mess around I had heard rumors that Garrettland were notorious for being crooks and keeping your deposit I had paid a 500 deposit for a low income apartment and I really needed it back After the final walk through with the resident manager for which she complemented us by saying we were the best tenants and wow its so clean Im glad I wont have to call the cleaning lady They look 213 of my deposit and said I owed them 260 for carpet cleaning There was no explanation of why they took 213 I left the unit in better condition than when I found it and had the carpet cleaned on my own dime Why did it need to be cleaned again DO NOT rent from this company I NEVER WILL AGAIN more ... hide ...
