Review of Gables Mill

Update: since I can t respond to the owners directly I ll just update my post. Yes I am well aware you have to have all your furniture out so they can do a thorough inspection and make you aware of any issues that should/could be fixed. My vacuum, steam cleaner, and few bottles of cleaner on the counter did not obstruct his view of the carpet. The man didn t even bother/give us the time of day. Also, like I said at the bottom of the review I tried to speak to the property manager about my concerns and was ignored.

Don't waste your time. I've lived in a gables community before and loved my experience, but not this one. I was really excited with the location and affordability, but not pleased with how their willing to disregard the individuals living here. We lived here for a year, at first everything seemed good typical apartment stuff. Once I started actually having to put in maintenance reports, it was a nightmare. The first few times I was spoken down on by the men that came into my apartment. Garbage disposal broke: a man came in and we didn't hear him knocking on the door so he came in which wouldn't be a problem until he slung my bedroom door open(I don't have a garbage disposal in my bedroom) After a couple of months I would come home (I prefer top floor apartment for this reason) and the whole house wreaked of mildew. I could not figure out where it was coming from. I put in a request for a maintenance staff to come check it out, twice online they said they came but no one ever showed up. Finally I found the culprit myself and there was mold growing in my window sills and water leaking from the wall. I called to tell them I found water leaking from the wall into the carpet and the gentleman that came by told me he couldn't do anything about it and just left it. Several occasions where we had to deal with this stupidity and I was going to let it go until we moved out. I know apartments everywhere try to charge you for everything they possibly can that is why I prefer a walk through done while I am there. I asked for one while we were still scrubbing down the apartment to see if he could come by during business hours to have it done before our lease ended by the end of the week. He came early and was extremely rude to my roommate who opened the door, disregarding our time and what we wanted to make sure was done. He came in and said he didn't see any damages that deemed needed to be fixed and left. We assumed everything was great and packed up and left. I couldn't make it the day the lease ended so I was going to get charged an extra day, but I went to process my walk through paperwork and they didn't have it done. Once I got the paperwork they stated we stained the carpet and were charging me an extra cleaning fee for it(legally have to clean your carpets before move in with tenants) and it wasn't stained it was maybe some dirt from walking(don't install white carpet). We had a steam cleaner with us, which easily would have been cleaned before we left if he had made it apparent that it was a problem. After all of that I emailed the property manager with my concerns and she didn't even have the decency to email me back. We weren't asking for a lot, just a decent place and some considerate individuals when it came to a problem. Also yeah they offer residents rewards for good reviews.
