I'm a current resident at one of the properties and I am giving only 4 stars because I had nothing but a good experience here. Office and maintenance are exceptional.
That was until I started having problems with my last place of employment regarding hours. I was told had to pay $400 by the 10th of the month with the balance due by the 23rd or eviction filed. I had to do that for several months. Then on Jan. 28th I was offered other employment with a fantastic facility with a much higher income. I start on 2/10. My last employer refused my notice and told me to leave. Now the issue.. I called Glendale Cap. No return call. I called Robert F Long, on hold for 20+ minutes then told all appointments filled. Called churches and agencies. I cannot locate anyone to help with assistance. I was now told by the office, I have to somehow come up with the $400 by the end of business on the 10th or Tuesday eviction will be filed and the judge basically says did you pay, yes or no. Will not care starting a new job, more money. If I want to pay the judgement before the court ordered eviction, I'm looking at rent, late fees and court costs needing to be paid in full. No promise to pays, no arrangement. I am out. So basically as long as you do not look to better yourself you will be fine. If you do, be prepared to sell your soul because MEB doesn't care about you. Regardless if money can be paid with first check or not. You will be in the same situation. Hustling to either come up with money to only struggle again if not paid by the 23rd to only have them file or trying to figure where to go within 2 weeks so you do not become homeless. Move here, make sure you are heart healthy for the stress being put onto me hopefully mine won't give out, again.

**UPDATE** Upon emailing with someone at this office, one again I'm going to say that it is really sad when a company cares more about the bottom line than they do about the people who CHOOSE to live there. I'm very willing to make it right. To pay Feb rent with my first and asking to allow me to pay March rent 2 weeks later with my next check. To please allow me to make payment arrangements on the fees AND court costs. I was refused. It's an all or nothing with them. So I am being forced to vacate an apartment and community I've grown to love along with being treated as if I'm intentionally refusing to pay with coldness. What happened was beyond my control. Having compassion, empathy goes very far and MEB management has none and I pray that someday they will stop looking to fill their pockets and realize there are circumstances that are sometimes beyond control of their tenants and have some basic Human Kindness.
