I am a tenant here and the property manager doesn't do her job I have been dealing with a tenant who has been harassing, bullying, and making me feel like a prisoner in my own apartment!! I tried reaching out to my neighbor in the first two weeks of moving in and tried resolving the issues and it was just useless because the guy has severe issues with anger. Every time I come home and start washing dishes, cooking, cleaning, vacuuming, flushing my toilet, talk, talking on the phone, watching tv, he pounds on my walls to quite me like I am supposed to not move and be a stagnant prisoner in my own apartment that I pay rent for every month and don't owe anything!!! I never had soo many issues with any tenants out of all the places I have lived. This is the worst experience I've ever had and NOT A DAMN THING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT!!!! I want to say that I am being discrimnated against because I have multiple emails sent to property management and have gotten no where!
