UPDATE: After leaving this review, Peak Properties...

UPDATE: After leaving this review, Peak Properties has agreed to pay for the space heater, space heater usage, and install a Nest Thermostat.

My roommate and I were warned about how bad Peak Properties was before we signed on and decided not to listen, my advice would be to definitely listen to these criticisms before signing with this leasing company as I have had an awful experience.

When we moved in, the place was definitely not cleaned as it should have been, even though we paid a move in fee that was supposed to cover cleaning. There was dust and filth everywhere, blinds in the bedroom were broken, many light bulbs were out, a shelf in the kitchen cabinet was broken, etc. While some of these items (not all) were finally fixed upon a few requests, they should have been taken care of upon moving in, in the first place. In addition, the unit was just built poorly as there is incredibly loud squeaking from the unit above, as well as a poor sanitation system with a common sewer smell in our apartment. Since this is a nicer and more expensive unit, these should not be issues for the price we are paying.

As we've moved into winter I've noticed the insulation in my bedroom is awful and it gets very cold and uncomfortable to stay in. I bought a thermometer and found that my room gets between 55-62 degrees (depending on the temperature outside), even when the thermostat is set to 73 and the rest of the apartment sits at 70-73. While the property is going to install another vent this week (which likely won't help much since it is in insulation issue and not a vent issue), I have requested for them to pay for a space heater ($30) and for space heater usage (an extra $30-$90 a month on our electricity bill) until the issue is resolved, with no response to this request. Again, for the price of rent at this unit, such poor insulation should not be an issue.
