I am a current resident, and while I do like my apartment, I have the following "cons" about living here:
- My rent + fees. Had I known about the ridiculous amount of fees added on to each month of rent, I'd never have moved in. Please note that my "actual" rent is a reasonable $1159/ mo. However, I have my autopay set to $1415 and it's still not enough to cover all of the additional, changing fees each month! I've never lived in a state where they could legally force you to pay for cable that you don't want (dish with no dvr, why bother?), incredibly unpredictable internet (great for when I work from home), and the complex's property taxes (seriously??? WTH?)
- I hear everything my upstairs neighbors do. I can hear it if their phone vibrates, that's insane.
- The parking is so bad, that people are parking on the sidewalks. And management doesn't seem to care that you can't back out of your $20 parking spot because someone decided to park on the sidewalk behind your spot.
- The dog poop. Do not step in the grass here.
Renting in Utah flat out sucks, but I thought that the office had been honest when they told me the price of rent with the "media package". Then I started getting billing for a bunch of things that were included with rent in every other state I've lived in. The problem is, where can you find a place that isn't screwing you over these days? I'd move there in a heartbeat!
