My girlfriend and I moved into our apartment early this year in January. At the time the apartment complex was still under construction. There was no club house, no pool, no washer dryers, no fitness room etc. Well...that would mean until they finished everything that Cari and I would be paying for a whole lot of stuff that we can't use. That also meant that our rent money would be used to BUILD their building rather than maintain them. They promised us ALL construction would be done by March. Cari and I figured that would be fine since we can use the pool in winter anyways and we could work around the other stuff. So we signed the lease. Well march came around and the new clubhouse hadn't even recieved walls yet and there was just a hole for the pool. A couple months fo by and we begin to get frustrated.

Then out of no where they added ridiculously large speed bumps. We could no longer use the parking lit anymore because we couldn't get over the bumps in the camaros. They attempted to flatten them and GAVE CARI THE OK to drive over it. So she tried, and they watched her go over as she destroyed her front bumper.

So I wrote up a letter telling them I was all this resolved. I explained all the issues we've been having, which is a lot more than is in this thread, and I simply asked in the letter that the refund us $100 for each month we've been here and for each month we are going to be here without all our ammenities. Then I asked that they pay the $1000 to have her fascia replaced since they stood there and GAVE her the ok. That would be $700 for the 7 months we've been here (we just asked for one month's free rent to cover this), 1000 for the fascia, and 100 off each month we are here and construction isn't done. I personally think this is COMPLETELY REASONABLE.

So I waited a WEEK for a reply to the letter and nothing. So I called and the manager said shed get back to me. We waited 3 days and called again and we were ignored. Called the next day and were ignored. Called a 3 time and she rudely said we don't need to call her every day. Then she passed the letter along to her supervisor and said he will get back to us. So we waited a WEEK and nothing. So I called and got his secretary...he wasn't available so I left him a message. This happened again daily for 7 days. Finally today I told the secretary that if he doesn't return my call that I will be coming in tomorrow. So he finally called today and said exacly this after a couple rude exchanges...."we deny your request" I began to ask why and he interrupted and said "im not going to debate this over the phone" extremely rude.I told hhim fine I will see him in court.

ALSO....now most construction is completely and the are advertising that everything will be done soon...they also publically advertised it would be done in early spring. The completes building and pool are just sitting there vacant...for about a month now. My dad talkes to the local building inspector and found out that the building was built without a permit and will have to be mostly torn apart. So this will take at least to the end of the year and cost thousands. Yet they are still advertising it will be done soon.

Do I have a case? Setting up a meeting with a lawyer next week. This has just been a dreadfully experience.
