Village at Stratford Apartments

  First off I would give this place no stars but I can’t do that. Here are a few reasons why the Village at Stratford Apartments is the worst place to live. I had a one year lease with them and it has caused nothing but problems, stress and headaches. To start off work orders do not exist here, it will never get done or it will take months to get whatever you need repaired, you must remind them daily about your work order. The drainage in the bathtubs is horrible, you must keep drano stocked up. The toilets are just as bad, mine had over flowed multiple times. I had standing water in my dining room area and into my bedroom and ruined the carpet. Since this happened after hours I had to call the “emergency maintenance” it took them an hour and a half to get to my location. I didn’t have to pay damages for the carpet but it took them a good two and a half weeks to get it done. Two weeks after I moved I noticed that the tub and the tile on the walls were painted and was peeling off. I notified the office to put in a work order and that took a month to get it fixed. Whoever they had repaint the bathroom left a huge mess, there was paint on the floor and all on the toilet. The floors here are not real hard wood floors, they are laminate floors that look like wood, around the toilet water has gotten under the laminate. When you take a step near the toilet the pressure will push the water back up and now you are left with wet socks and a little water puddle. I also notified the office of it they sent a maintenance man to check it out and he said don’t worry it will be fine and went on about his day. When you pay your rent you must keep your receipts or you will get notes saying you didn’t pay and you are going to get an eviction notice. If you have to pay a pet deposit better keep a copy of your payment as well or you will get multiple notes saying you never paid it. The walls here are thin if you have a bottom apartment you can here very they are doing upstairs. They don’t take precautions for the winter weather, they don’t salt the roads at all. Currently my car along with 9 others are stuck in ice that is all the way up to the rim due to a fire that happened a couple of days ago and all of the water from the fire trucks froze. There has been freezing and below freezing temperatures for the past month, it’s common sense to think that all of that water will freeze. But apparently they don’t have that here but they didn’t take the necessary precondition of the water freezing. Now you are probably thinking well why don’t you just park somewhere else, the only other place to park is in front of other peoples apartments and walking four buildings up to yours. I boiled hot water to try and get out and it didn’t help. I went to the office to ask for help wait 20 minuets they didn’t show up, I took my boyfriend with me so he could talk to them and they finally called someone. However the main didn’t do a damn think right. I literally saw him sprinkle a little bit of salt, he didn’t put it in the right place nor did he ask if he could help us. Because of their negligence to use the proper precautions my car with 9 others are stuck and I had to call into work. I have two weeks left and can’t wait to get out of here. Save your money and look somewhere else.
