They require you to resign the lease about half a year ahead of the lease's termination. This pressure is, naturally, pretty unfair if you're unsure of your living situation come six months. If you delay the decision, they threaten you.
A substantial number of tenants are housed illegally, stuffing their rooms beyond the legal limit and posing a fire hazard as a result. Many people keep pets illegally as well.
A shocking number of staff here don't know what Reply All is, so if you and your suitemates need joint emails you will not get them.
Sometimes packages go to the wrong buildings because they only check first names and not last names. This is a huge problem if your name is quite common. Sometimes you get no package notifications even if your package arrives, sometimes your suitemates gets it and not you.
Some front desk staff members like to blast extremely vulgar music through the speaker system, subjugating all to dirty songs about having drugged-up sex in bathroom stalls. This is especially a problem if you have young children. There is no professionalism.
Sometimes you get lucky and the staff at the front desk give you a parking pass for free, which is nice if you have a friend visit for a few hours. Others pretend they are new to the job and charge you extra. It's hit-or-miss in that regard.
When maintenance enters the room they are very dirty and leave a mess, especially if you have hard-wood floors. I had a leakage issue for two years and every maintenance call to fix it was futile and always left the room in disarray, with dirty shoe stains all over the floor and carpet.
One time I choked in the swimming pool and the on-duty lifeguard did absolutely nothing to help me. Thankfully, a kind young person nearby was willing to help their fellow human being me not die.
Be kind to yourself: don't live here.
