So this apartment is from the mid 70s and has been recently remodeled but this switch still remains, I have absolutely no idea what it does, I know they use to have garbage disposals in these units which they took out so I’m wondering if it was for that. Anyone who has a clue I’d love to know

At what point do I leave a note / talk in person / tell management / hammer back? They don’t do it after like 7pm, but it’s just very annoying. I’m also unsure if it’s maintenance doing remodeling or something, so there’s that possibility too.

I just spent the last 7 hours violently throwing up every 20-30 mins. I thought it was the worst food poisoning of my life but it came out of nowhere and i don’t know what i ate that could elicit such an intense and violent reaction. i finally settled down after painfully throwing up bile for hours - it was so bad i couldn’t drink water or anything, i couldn’t keep it down. and i couldn’t sleep at all because every 20 mins i had to run to the bathroom. my stomach finally settled when i was awoken at 4am by violent vomiting through the walls. somewhere in the apartment building (4 units) one of my neighbors is also violently sick. was it coincidence, just a stomach bug going around, or is it possible there’s something in the apartment, like gas or mold, that’s making us sick? please let me know if i should be concerned and get out of here asap. i haven’t had a problem like this before but this is only my second month of living here. please advice, thank you

My neighbor has a surround speaker in his bedroom. He plays movies and songs with a lot of bass, and plays it on full volume. To the point where I can even hear the bass through my foam earplugs. Do I have grounds to call the cops on him if he makes noise before 10 pm? I have the right to enjoy quiet in my own house, I feel like I’m losing my fucking mind honestly /:

I’ve been in my apartment for about 5 years and in the last two I have struggled with pantry moths so when I started seeing this bug on the wall I thought it was somehow related to them. I usually see them on my walls maybe one or two a week. Today I just went to open my window and there was a bunch along the window sill. They look like they might have wings? When I squish them they don’t have an odor or a color. I live in the Pacific Northwest if that is helpful.

I JUST moved into my new apartment 2 months ago I’m on level 15 and I have neighbors on level 16 that make stomping noises and banging from 7am to midnight and play loud music! The dad has a small business where he drills/hammers. I knocked on the door this morning and asked if they can lower the noise. They have 3 young kids running around all day (they’re not in school yet). The mom was super rude :( she seemed like she didn’t want to speak English and told me “no, and file a noise complaint if I don’t like it” I JUST moved in! This is so unfortunate. I asked my apartment to move apartments so I don’t hear my neighbors and they told me I can but I’ll have to start a new lease and I’ll loose my deposit ($2k)

As the title says… this has been my life for 3 years. Every room in their apartment sounds like this. It can go on for minutes, it goes on for hours at least once a week. Management “can’t just kick them out to fix the subfloors”. When you go in the hallway with the doors closed, my neighbor is the only one you can hear walking around, that’s how bad the floors are. There would be weeks where we got consistently woken up at 4am due to the noise when they get up for work. Just had to vent. It’s almost impossible for me to just simply ignore it. We’re stuck in our lease until November too. I have my tv off in the video but i can’t just turn the tv up to drown it out since i try to be respectful of the neighbors next door.

They just moved in about 3 weeks ago and have been making nothing but noise. I understood that they just moved in and would be unpacking and possibly building furniture so it didn't bother me at first. What does bother me is them constantly having the TV on all night long. I've tried to record it for proof of a noise disturbance but it's like a bass noise and rumbling and my mic won't pick it up. They don't turn it off until like 5am. Not only that but somebody was building furniture they other day at 3am, dropping tools on the floor, and dragging furniture all around the apartment. This is ridiculous. Like how do you do stuff like that knowing that you have neighbors who are trying to sleep?? And don't get me started on them dragging their feet across the floor like little kids. I will be reporting them to the leasing office on Monday but I doubt they'll do anything without proof.

Decided to clean out my pantry today and found this. It was covered by an intact box of soda. I've already mopped in there and cleaned the wood a little.

I received a text with pictures, that my package was delivered to an Amazon box. I could see from pics that it was placed inside the Amazon box.

I get home and go to the box. It tells me someone already picked it up. Impossible, because I just got there.

I go to my apartment and my package is there.

I look at my ring doorbell cam and see someone who appears to be the leasing associate putting the package at my door.

Why would they go in a lockbox and take out my package?

I live in a brand new luxury purpose built 30story rental (first open summer 2024). For reference, this is the most expensive rent in my city with claims of the best luxury. I moved here in hope of not having to deal with normal landlord bs, as it was advertised as the best there is 5* hotel living, with concierges and 24/7 security etc.

I’ve been here since the fall, and the bathroom is in the centre of my 1000sq ft 2 bedroom unit, so it has no window. The bathroom exhaust, whenever on, seems to directly flow into the HVAC vents in the ceiling, so if I’m having my morning coffee on the living room sofa, or dining room, or really anywhere, and my partner is going #2, I get a strong direct stream of the smells through the vents from above. There is seemingly no way to fix this.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is this grounds for terminating a lease early and asking the landlord to pay moving expenses? Is this something the landlord can fix without relocating tenants?

Of note, this is one of MANY serious and systemic problems (including lack of hot water, failures to accommodate disabilities, being subjected to harassment… etc)

Would appreciate everyone’s take.

Hey everyone, I'm currently struggling with this open space I have between the TV and cat tree. I didn't know whether to just leave it alone or add something to make it not look as bare. Any advice appreciated! I am also seeking a nice coffee table as we speak to out in front of the couch :)

I am moving into a very nice luxury building for the first time next month. I am lucky to be able to finally afford it, though it is a very small unit. 488 square feet. Anyway what are some things you have done to your place for quality of life? I have expendable income at this point to treat myself. Just looking for inspiration. Thanks!

I live by myself so im figuring things out myself, unfortunately my girlfriends cant help me with these questions. But is there a TV mount that can (i guess) move or swivel fully so i can both use my tv in kitchen and in my “bedroom” it’s a studio apartment

if that makes sense, if so… any recommendations?? of maybe idea?

i like being in bed when watching tv but i also want a tv when i have people/family over. Or maybe I should just get rolling tv stand? Let me know! :)

I (32f) have lived in my apartment for almost 2 years now with my husband (38m) and our kiddio (4). We are now gonna be forced to move but can't get into a new place because where we are now screwed our credit. So I'm gonna have to move in my in-laws

Back story: I've lived in CO basically all my life, moved out of my parents house 22 and my husband and I had lived income based housing for close to 10 years but when our jobs did raises bringing us over the income limit we had to find a new place. We spent months looking and visiting, sadly we had to move during the peak of rental prices in 2023, so we ended up in a place owned by Madison group (which I will never do again) and by moving we went from paying 780 a month flat in rent to a base rent for 1860 with other fees that made our monthly total to the apartment complex like 2k. When we renewed last year they raised our base rent to 1993 then again with all the other fees we now have to pay like 2100-2200 (sometimes it's even 2300) a month. On top of this we also pay for electric and gas separately. So our housing expenses have been up to 2500-2600 a month.

Our lease is set to expire in June so we have our newest renewal offers which is gonna raise our base rent again to 2069 a month even though there is a unit on the property that is the same floor plan we are in for $500 less than we are paying now! (This still makes me so angry) Market value should be across the board not having people pay more and more because they signed a lease during crappy housing market times. We requested a transfer, got told no (because we've had to pay rent after the 8th of the month more than twice since June of last year) so we started looking again. Because of how much we are paying the apartment complex alone we've had to make some hard choices which included pay for food and housing and stuff to be able to continue to work or pay our credit card bills. We made some choices that are now bitting us in the butt but at the time it was the only option. Many of our credit cards were racked up keeping us going after we tripled our rent and had to learn to adjust.

Now because we've struggled for the last year to keep everything afloat and have paid close to nothing on credit card debts we have been denied to move into a different complex all together. Our budget sucks and everything is so expensive our choices are to renew and limp along for another 12-15 months or talk to his parents about moving in with them. I really don't want to have to pack and move, let alone to have to move in with my in-laws, but if we keep going on the struggle bus for any longer we will fall off and become homeless.

Thank you for letting me vent and put my story out there where I know no one :D

So I’ve been living in my apartment since July of last year, and immediately my AC breaks. No big deal, I call maintenance and they fix it! But I find out that they didn’t really fix it. To make a long story short this happens again and again and again at least 10 times through summer winter and now it’s about to be summer again. It gets to over 85 degrees in my house and during peak summer easily over 95. What can I do? I will start feeling sick and dizzy and I have a very thick coated bunny living here and I’m worried for her as well. I would like to move before summer because I’m not sure if I could make it through that again. Last year I would sleep at other people’s houses or in my car. I can’t begin to explain how hard this has been for me.

(Pic of my ac unit which never works 😀)

Tldr : my ac doesn’t work in peak summer or winter

My future schedule isn’t certain and I only have so much say in what it’ll be since my options are very limited so I’m developing a schedule that I know for a fact will work for me and whatever I end up doing. If I clean everything on weekends (mop, wipe down windows, sweep, wipe down counters, vacuum rug, etc.) on weekends (split between Saturday and Sunday) will that be enough?

I’m doing my best to create a schedule I can stick to no matter how late April works out for me. I really need the consistency to help with my depression and prevent overwhelming burnouts. I still get burnout from routine but it’s a lot easier to manage than when I do things on random times.

Edit: I do basic daily stuff every day to keep this place decently clean too. Like mini garbage cans in every room for trash, putting things in their general spots or at least on a table, etc. My apartment is never really dirty. The weekly thing is basically just washing everything

My response: “Oh ok, yes I'd prefer if we would stick to the agreement in the lease and I get the remaining $45 owed. Thanks for explaining!” I know I should have told him to go fuck himself but I wanted my $45 back, damn it (I did get it). Also, the only carpeted part of the unit was the living room, and it was so threadbare and should have been replaced entirely. I know for a fact it wasn’t even cleaned, because I left for the last time at about 8PM on my move-out day, and went back to the building the next morning because I had lost an earring during the move and thought maybe it had come off in the driveway when we were loading the truck. The new tenants had already started moving in. I don’t know if anyone even looked inside the unit at all before they gave the new tenants the keys.

My current apartment is being demolished to be rebuilt starting June 1st so I needed to find a new apartment. However my current roommate (who I lived in a dorm with last year and knew half a year before starting college) cannot afford to pay for living in a apartment over summer when she won’t be living in it (interning over summer).

My new living situating will be a 5 bedroom 5bathroom building. Since I don’t have any other friends I’ll be living with 4 strangers now. So any tips on how to live with and communicate with 4 people I’ve never met before would be great!!

Also this apartment is my best option since it’s only $685 a month (which is the closest to my current rent of $610), allows pets, and is nearby my college (it isn’t really a walking distance but there is a shuttle that takes 8 mins). That’s my reasoning for choosing a place where I live with 4 strangers.

I rented a decent apartment from private landlords. I wish I could rent from a management company, but my credit took a hit from a health crisis I was in. I’ve been here for 2 years and I’m really getting bothered. They want to pick up the cash every month. Which is fine, but they don’t give notice and they don’t always come on the same day. So the 1st comes and I’m on edge trying to keep the apartment clean and myself presentable because they’ll just randomly text they’re on their way. At times I wasn’t available they seemed pissed. I asked multiple times for them to please give a day notice so I can find a time to be here, but they don’t. I also asked to switch to send check or bank transfer and they told me they want to come every month to keep an eye on the property. They have invited themselves in before, so I never know if it’s a quick stop by or if they’ll come in. I know there’s nothing I can do except for move. But I’m still working on getting my credit up which will take at least 6-12 months. It sucks being so desperate I have to put up with this. I refuse to ever rent from private landlords again! Too bad for them because I’m a really good tenant too. Would anyone else be annoyed with this or am I over reacting?

My super threatened to ban my e-bike after a random hoverboard battery incident in our building. They tried to make me leave it chained outside instead of bringing it in. I showed them the UL certification and promised to store the battery in a fireproof bag, but they’re still skeptical.

Has anyone else dealt with this? I’m confident my e-bike isn’t a fire hazard (it’s UL-certified and well-maintained), but my super acts like I’m storing a grenade in my apartment.

• How did you prove your e-bike’s safety to a wary landlord?
• Any luck with fireproof storage solutions in small spaces?
• Do building insurance policies ever cover this?

I’ve got enough stress, didn’t think owning an e-bike would be on the list lol

Edit: The ebike is an FD Eden.

This is a warning to those looking to move to vegas. Avoid unit 3 13-24 they are filled to the brim with roaches

The problem is insane, Woke up to get some water and the roaches were having a party i literally ran outside. This place is filled with roaches it's like something out of a horror movie but ITS REAL.

SO MANY ROACHES. We've called the solaire apartments for an exterminator and they don't do anything. Our lease isn't up for a long time and the crime here is crazy as well. Domestic disputes are common. there was once a loud dispute by my neighbors and i went outside in the morning and there was a smashed tv outside afterwards

i've also heard several gunshots. there's so much crime here. i've found needles on the ground here.

please don't come to these apartments. the images look tempting but the infestations and the terrible customer support is bread and butter FUCK THIS PLACE

As someone who was looking on reddit to see if there is anything about these apartments and did not find anything, I'm hoping to deter as many people as possible from renting at this place. I have a plethora of reasons below.

1. For 20+ units they have two washers and two dryers in the basement, one washer of which is always broken and leaves everything soaked to the point where a 2 hour laundry session becomes 6 hours. When telling them or maintenance they send out a email basically saying it is due to people not properly cleaning the washer even though it is clear that the spin cycle does NOT work.
2. The ceilings are THIN. I'm talking about you thinking your neighbor is going to fall through your ceiling thin and I promise you it is not an exaggeration. I know exactly when and where my upstairs neighbor is at all times and when they walk/STOMP almost all the time throughout the day, it truly makes me feel like im going insane. If you plan to have a place where you can sleep and study or work from home, this place is not it. When complaining to management, they only ignore you. (P.S. From when I moved in until I moved out I was IGNORED, im talking no text or emails back, always getting a message that my property manager "has gone home" and contacting the CEO did not help either. Tried BBB and they did not help either so I clenched my teeth until I moved out.
3. They fail to tell you that they have multiple airbnbs where multiple random people will be coming in and out at all times of the day. This is highly unsafe for 1, and annoying because you can never truly feel safe because people come in and out disappearing and leaving. Most of the time these Airbnbs will play music at ungodly hours and regardless of how much you complain, the property manager will send out an email to all the residents as if its not the Airbnb people who are creating the noise.
4. THEFT is a big thing here. Multiple packages of mine were stolen despite needing a code to enter the building. There are no cameras ANYWHERE so safety is out the door as well. I've even heard my door knob jiggle in the middle of the night to which I assume its people trying to break in. Overall, safety was not a thing and property manager did not care when concerns were voiced.
5. Do not under any circumstance sign a lease without touring the place in-person. This will reveal the ratchet stairs and the creaky staircase in the back. Also will remind you of the inconvenience of having to throw your trash out in a dumpster behind the building.
6. Yes they have internet which is a plus and how they try to get you to sign BUT the internet sucks and you cannot take a work call normally so you will most likely end up having to get your own wifi regardless. Take this as you will
7. People leave trash where its not supposed to be, in the halls, in the laundry room, in the staircase. It is disgusting.
8. Last but not least, property manager and agents will sweet talk you into trying to sign a lease. I'm telling you they will act like a sweet grandma but as soon as you sign that lease- expect to have dead silence and all that sweetness melts away leaving a bitter taste in your mouth. Worst management I have ever experienced.

Please feel free to reach out for questions or concerns, I am hoping to save someone the trouble that I went through and wish someone told me about all these when I first was considering this place. SO TLDR BEWARD OF THE LINDLEY or MODLI Management in general.

This is the second month in a row we are going to be late with rent. We paid the majority of it besides $200, and we paid that in the next few days after the 5th.

We both got the flu this month and had to miss a lot of work. We are currently about $250 short, and doing everything we can to pay it as soon as possible. We aren't worried about getting an eviction notice, and the property management staff was really nice to us last month.

What we are actually worried about is do you think this will hurt our chances for a renewal when it comes time? We aren't due for a renewal until November of this year and we don't want to have to move 😢

Anyone who lives in a corporate apartment complex or has worked for one have any advice? Is there any general guidelines apartment complexes follow?

Thank you
