In fact, after making some of the complaints I've had known to the office, again, I was not provided a solution, rather I was told to write down all the issues I'm having. So here it is. A little background, I have paid my rent on time, every time. I have paid ahead. I have even paid what I believe to be exorbitant deposits. I pay for a garage. I pay for a washer and dryer. I have the full experience. Day 1 - Move in. Around August. Yellow Jacket nest was in the brick at the corner of the front and only door to my apartment. Called maintenance, they would not come out as it was a weekend and not an emergency. Fine. I spent my own money and got a ton of bug spray and took care of it myself. Their speedy team dispatched a 3rd party exterminator a few days later... Move in condition was not what I would describe as good. The doors, trim, and floors were all dirty. The toilet runs water constantly - it still does to this day. This was all described in my move in checklist that I turned in. They did not re-clean or dispatch anyone to fix the toilet. Garage Door Opener I called about my garage door opener not working/working intermittently. Maintenance came out, fiddled with it for a bit, and said they'd get me a new opener. Never Happened. Still have to click it several times to make it work. Swapped batteries a few times, no difference. Have a dog? That's fine they welcome pets here! But they don't refill the bags often enough for animal waste, and they place them in areas around the complex that... well.... people aren't really walking to. I live on a corner, and every so often I just go out with a garbage bag and clean up poop corner which seems to be the community poo grounds for dogs because I don't really want to get fined for dog waste being all over. October - My Newborn is coming home... My wife and I just had our first child. About this time in October things were cooling off. I turned on the furnace and it smelled like burning. I looked at the furnace, and saw that it was absolutely filthy. There were literally embers burning from stuff built up on the burners themselves, a fire hazard for sure, not to mention the burning smell and other dangers of fumes. Called for maintenance, Becca said it would be a few days. I had to fix that one myself. Winter The windows are horrible here. I'm talking need to put the plastic film on the windows to stop the drafts bad. But wait! When it snows, don't expect that you can rely on the people here to clear the lot or sidewalks in a reasonable amount of time. I have had to clear snow for myself, and the parking lot in front of my place. The company that comes through to do removal just does a few quick passes to make the lanes on the parking lot passable, but don't expect them to clear parking spaces. So my front main door also leaks like a sieve. I called about this issue. They were unable to properly fix it, and I was told that they would recommend replacing my door. But then as it got colder my storm door also started binding up on the concrete patio out front. I mentioned that but I was just told that was from the frost pushing up the concrete. It's really nice when I let my dog out after I've put the baby to bed and the door makes a metal-on-concrete sound every time I open the door. It's ok, weather should be warming up soon. Door has not been replaced. I wanted to buy my own washer and dryer since having a kid has made the small units they provide inadequate. Cannot do until the lease is up? Oh and they ask for you to renew your lease WAYYY in advance (6mo+) so plan your next place right after you move in There are decent people that live here, and it's in an OK area. The apartments are outdated, from kitchen appliances and cabinets to the furnaces and such. I would not come here expecting the place to have the best maintenance, or customer service- but as long as you pay your bills on time, you'll be fine,

I never rented from Coralville Apartments / Jasro & Companies. However, my email interactions with…read morethem have convinced me not to rent from them. In July 2022, I emailed them multiple times to request that they delete my account in their resident portal (https://jasro.twa.rentmanager.com/). Unfortunately, my requests have been ignored, and my information is still in their system against my will, and I have no way to delete it. My initial email interactions with Coralville Apartments (regarding apartment logistics) occurred in December 2021 and January 2022. In one of my last emails to them (https://bit.ly/3zmO6H6), I inquired about some accusations against their property manager (Jacob C. Schwebke). The person I was emailing with responded to refute those accusations (https://bit.ly/3Q2TCWc), but they did not provide any evidence to support their refutations. I then replied to say, "Thank you for letting me know. Could you please share the relevant court records with me?", but I never received a reply. In an attempt to verify the truth, I looked up the Iowa court records at www.iowacourts.state.ia.us/. (Under "Trial Court", click on "Case Search". Search for "Jacob C. Schwebke". The record for Case ID "06521 FECR125807" indicates that the 1st degree theft charge against Jacob C. Schwebke was indeed dismissed by the court.) Unfortunately, I could not find any more information about this online. I emailed the three authors of the three articles linked in my first email to ask them for more information about this (only one of them replied, but they didn't share any more info). It would be helpful if the journalists who wrote articles about the charges against Mr. Schwebke also wrote follow-up articles to explain the court's decision in response to the charges.

STAY AWAY! Zorah comes across as seeming so nice initially, but after living in one of her units,…read moredo not rent from her. Rent from literally anyone else. She blamed us for every maintenance issue that came up, even for damage that was done before we moved in, which we had photo proof of. I got the vibe that a lot of maintenance/renovation work either they did themselves or hired someone who didn't know what they were doing, as many things in the house were not installed/set-up/plumbed correctly. A few minor issues that were 100% landlord responsibility we ended up just dealing with ourselves and not involving her because we knew she'd refuse to fix them and gaslight and blame us, and the stress wasn't worth it. The place was not clean when we moved in, with tons of pet hair and cat litter that was so gross to clean up. I have never had a worse experience with a landlord. Their "office" is literally just an old mail dropbox inside the entrance to a dentist. You have to physically drop off a rent check there every month - I've never lived anywhere that you can't even mail your rent!

I cannot emphasize enough how much you should avoid Apadana Properties. I want to start with the…read moreworst part of living in an Apadana unit--the landlord, Zorah, who is the epitome of a slumlord. She gaslights tenants when they have issues to make it seem like everything is your fault. She takes advantage of low-income families and individuals so that she can intimidate them without repercussions. She spends the least amount of money and time possible when repairs are necessary. After reporting the (MANY) issues we had after moving in, she called me up to tell me I was annoying her and that I should just move out. Keep in mind, I was asking for normal things that are guaranteed rights for renters (working appliances, etc.). All in all, I have rented from a bunch of properties in Iowa City/Coralville and THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST LIVING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. Upon moving in there were so many issues that made my unit uninhabitable. The dishwasher and garbage disposal did not work. The stairs were rotted wood with large holes that created a major hazard. The washer was broken and did not agitate (aka, clothes just floated around in dirty water), but the landlord tried to say I was being "picky". There were so many broken cabinets and drawers that I lost count. We were told that there was a working fireplace when we signed the lease, but the landlord did not inform us until the day we moved in that the fireplaces were not in use because of a previous tenant that had a fire. Turns out my unit was the one with the fire, which was evident from all of the soot on the unit that was easily visible on the deck (the landlord neglected to tell me about this fire and I only found out as I was doing the walkthrough; the soot was never cleaned). ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS CLEAN. There was mold all over the dishwasher. Dog hair from the previous tenant was embedded into the walls and trim. There was an actual infestation of spiders in the basement that both me and my neighbor struggled with. This review does not even come close to conveying the constant stress I have felt the last year being a tenant of Apadana Properties, but I hope it steers you away from living in this hell hole.

Nichole does the tours and will lock you out of the unit even if you're directly outside the unit and will huff and puff if you ask her to let you inside you inside your own unit that she locked you out of. Nichole is fairly rude. The Nest Management team is embarrassed of her. Nichole will also show up with a nice Dodge Charger sports car to show you a slum lord apartment. She will promise the heat works during the winter, it maintains a 47°f high is how it works. They don't answer maintenance requests. Mold gets removed after 2-4 maintenance requests. Most of the outlets don't work. If the outlet works it will trip the circuit board in someone else's apartment. You will request the other unit to let you into their apartment to reset your breaker. All around Nichole is terrible and rude. Nest is a slum lord apartment management company.

While the university claims it is on campus, that is a bit of a stretch although technically correct. West campus is a mile or so west of the main campus so it is not just a stroll to get from this new housing to the campus, but it is bike friendly except in winter. Even with this, the housing is nice. University officials saw the need for additional housing and this was the result. Every unit also has parking in the attached ground level lot.
