I am absolutely outraged by the handling of my apartment access on October 22 and the days that…read morefollowed. Maintenance entered my apartment without my presence or consent, despite me explicitly stating this was not allowed. I allowed it once because I was told scheduling a specific time was not possible--but this will never happen again.
During this entry, a maintenance employee used a code that was not mine to access my apartment. When I returned, my personal code no longer worked. After multiple calls to the leasing office, a maintenance guy arrived (very nice I didnt get his name) and said the new code would work temporarily--but when I returned later, it still didn't work.
I attempted to use the SmartRent app to avoid emergency calls, only to find I did not even have access, something the leasing office should have granted me. I was locked out until 7:44 PM, repeatedly calling maintenance with no response. The on-call staff, Keith (or Key), was shockingly unprofessional, dismissively saying "GEEZ" before hanging up. I had to leave my door unlocked overnight, creating a serious safety risk.
The next day, I tried repeatedly during office hours to resolve the issue, again receiving no response. I called emergency maintenance 14 times, only to learn staff were at a trunk or treat event. I had to track someone down in person. Darrell eventually helped (Thank you Darrell) and confirmed this entire fiasco was caused by the leasing office never granting proper access to the SmartRent app.
This level of mismanagement caused extreme inconvenience, stress, and serious safety risks. I have been locked out of my apartment three times, which is completely unacceptable for someone paying rent.
I cannot recommend this property due to the unprofessionalism, lack of communication, and unsafe handling of resident access. The 2.2 star rating speaks for itself.
update-
Despite explicitly requesting that all communication be via email, I received an inappropriate phone call from Tina, the property manager for maintenance. During the call, she blamed me for not setting up my SmartRent password, even though the issue stems entirely from the leasing office failing to grant me access.
Tina also claimed that Kyle came to my apartment at 4:00 PM to assist me, which is completely false, as I was not home at that time. Throughout the call, her tone and stateme nts were unprofessional, and I repeatedly expressed my dissatisfaction.
I am also confused as to why bianca the property manager who I emailed --forwarded my email to Tina instead of adressing the issue, creating even more frustration. This mishandling has caused significant stress and inconvenience, and the lack of accountability and communication from management is unacceptable.
