I cannot even believe we are dealing with another ...
I cannot even believe we are dealing with another MAJOR issue from this sorry excuse for a "luxury" apartment complex. Disrespectful, clueless, and a complete absence of care from this ridiculous, child-like office staff.
We left for Florida for our Thanksgiving holiday, Tuesday evening. Our friends dropped us off at the airport and then went back to our place where they were staying to take care of our dog.
The next day at 2pm Florida time (12pm Colorado time), I have a missed call from Stonegate. No voicemail. I call back to find out what's going on and Monik tells me that they've "received a complaint from my neighbors that my dogs were barking all night". I told her I only have one dog, and our friends were there with her, is she sure it was our apartment? She says "Yes, it is, we've received multiple complaints that the dog was barking for hours last night and sounds like it was in distress. Your neighbors called around 8pm saying it hadn't stopped and they threatened to call Animal Control" --
So let me break this down: a neighbor called at 8pm Tuesday evening, WHILE our friends were at our apartment eating dinner and texting us pictures of our dog, saying she had been barking for hours when she clearly wasn't?
Furthermore, if she HAD been barking for hours, and the office opens at 8am Wednesday, WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME AT NOON? What if something had truly been wrong with my dog? What if she was hurt? Why didn't you stop by to find out if something was actually wrong (they didn't by the way, I asked, they went SOLELY off the complaint from our neighbors, never once checking on the apartment).
What kind of person gets a message like that the next morning, that the dog sounded "distressed", and doesn't call us until FOUR HOURS after they listened to it? And then DOESN'T LEAVE A VOICEMAIL?
After we dealt with the fiasco (had to have our friends take Luna to Doggy Day Care just to avoid the situation altogether although they said she had been fine all night and they had played at the Dog Park that morning), we later found that after she called and left no voicemail, Monik emailed us saying "hope all is well with you during the holidays! If one of you could please call us back, we're open until 6:00pm today" --- Are you serious?! Not ONE mention that something could be wrong, that my dog may be hurt, that this COULD be an emergency?!
How about "Hey guys, we've had some complaints that your dog is barking and may be in distress - we're sending someone over to check things out since the complaint came last night around 8pm, but if you could call us back we just want to make sure everything is OK and we can all get on the same page" --- this would have been an acceptable voicemail or email, although neither happened. Because the office staff is a bunch of children that have obviously never had a professional job in their life.
And furthermore, there are TWO of us on the lease and this is the SECOND time they've not bothered to call my fiance Rob when something was wrong after not getting a hold of me, and not even leaving a voicemail (the last time was when they spent 3 weeks not fixing our a/c in the middle of August, with three pets in the apartment on the second floor, and instead lied to us on multiple occasions about the part being ordered)
Stay FAR away from this complex. They have NO regard for common decency, no professionalism, and haven't a single shred of concern for any of their residents.
