**another update** It has now coming up on two months I have been without AC. Communication was good for awhile, but has now stopped. I have been told several times that they are replacing my AC, but when I test out the supposedly replaced AC, I discover that it is not actually fixed and that they have yet to replace it. I have talked to office staff twice now both times I tell them fixing the AC didn t work to which they reply, I think you need a new unit. Seriously?! I ve been told I need a new unit multiple times now. I keep asking when is the new AC unit coming and then they send someone to fix it. It isn t fixable. Clearly, because maintenance has tried multiple times. And yet the model apartment below me has a new unit. Maybe they could swap my unit for the models AC Unit. I have two cats who are older and have breathing issues. I have had to take them to my parents, yet I am still paying the pet fee. Plus, I have only been able to have use my apartment even though I am paying full rent. I have even had to shower at my gym a few times because the shower added to the humidity too much. At this point I should just be living in some of the apartments I originally looked at closer to my work and less expensive. But they didn t have AC only window units. I choose Garden Pointe because they had AC.
**Update. I went ahead and increased my rating to three stars because I know have been in communication with the manager Tracy. I have appreciated the apologies and that they have been working with maintenance to fix my AC. As of right now they have to replace the AC unit, but did install a portable unit until the AC can be replaced. As of today, everyone I have spoken to has been very polite. I do still have hope that this initial situation was a mishap and that communication will be there in the future. And that maintenance issues will be addressed in a prompt manner. I will re-think raising my review fully when the situation is completely fixed. But for now I am optimistic and grateful for communication!
I live in apartments owned by Fairlawn in Indianapolis. I don t know if they just weren t prepared to own property in another state or what, but my experience so far has been extremely frustrating. They have owned the property for a few weeks now and since before they owned it my AC has not been working. The day after I found out they now owned my apartment complex I put in a work order with them. Nothing happened I tried calling the office several times and only got a voicemail. It took several days later to finally get an actual person on the phone. At least with the old company I most of the time got a person to pick up the phone. They finally told me I needed a new AC unit and that it would be in on Monday. It is now Friday. I understand things get delay and stuff happens, but I ve repeatedly asked them to at least let me know what s going on and where things stand. Summer is coming and I m starting to think I need to move if this is how things will be handled. I m a very patient person which is why I m only now posting this, but sometimes you just hit your breaking point and not communicating at the least is mine.
