Moved into a newly renovated apartment that had some work still needed. Management promised it would be ready for our move in and realtor actually pushed us to move in 15 days earlier than we really wanted to (veronique perrin...also stay away)
When we moved in the apartment had the following issues:
no heat
no hot water
no cooking gas
no running water in shower
fridge didn't work
all appliances, doors and cabinets covered in plastic wrap and sawdust
washer/ dryer unusable
buzzer doesn't ring or open door
AC promised by realtor does not exist
mirror in bathroom is cracked
painting on inside of closet incomplete
We didn't get heat/hot water/cooking gas for 5.5 months (nobody else lived in building). During this period they ( mostly verbally) assured us that we would be getting it when they responded and agreed to give us several months of free rent.
The day after heat/hot water was restored, he went against his previous word and tried to demand the entire rent balance for the period including the cost of a plug in burner and plug in heater management provided us with, which also had escalated our electric bill 4x higher than usual.
We offered management a partial payment, which they accepted (cashed the check!!!!) and then they went behind our back and tried to file for eviction. Hired a lawyer and did not pay rent for the remainder. BUT it was a nightmare since we had to go to court.
