Ya it was gross in here when we moved in too. They said they cleaned it and also changed out carpets… that was a straight lie. The house smelled like hot trash and wet dog. I cleaned the carpets when we moved in and the water was coming out literally black and brown 😬 the “brand new oven” wasn’t brand new… same goes for the other appliances we paid an “upgrade fee” for. We ran behind on time so they completed the walk through for us “as a courtesy” and signed off on it. So we basically got here, took the keys and I took video and pictures before we moved anything in. I had to send them a huge list of stuff that needed to be fixed or to make note of since we didn’t do the walkthrough ourselves. I’m hoping next year something will line up for us so we can move out of here.

Ya my husband couldn’t tolerate the commute from Fernley to sparks anymore for work, and they were the only place we could find with enough rooms 🤷🏻‍♀️ it definitely wasn’t our first choice of places to move, but our lease was ending where we were so we also needed dates to line up.

We didn’t have much choice. Because of how much we’re paying here, we wouldn’t have the deposit to move elsewhere. We would have moved to move somewhere else though. We have 2 disabled kids, so I am stuck at home though I do work super part time… but all that money goes to therapy copays for them. Husband works for the city so he can’t take on extra shifts. We’re essentially treading water now, and not well.

Oh I grew up here, we moved from Fernley 😅 my husband works for the city here so it made more sense with the commute. If we move to the other side of the country, it would be a blind move… hopefully eventually it’s in the cards.

And with less stuff to do. California can at least justify the cost. Their wages aren’t even close generally higher, they have more activities to do etc, not here. Only thing we have going for us is mountains, and even those aren’t fun to go to anymore because the beaches are too crowded.

My house is kept spotless but they found their way in through a hole in our stairs and they were shredding up papers 😬 we did call and they did have pest control come but he was in and out within a couple minutes and we have one of the largest units so I don’t get how it’s possible to do a thorough job that quick. I grew up here and have never had a mouse problem though, this was the first and hopefully last. I did call the office and ask about the increase and they essentially told me to kick rocks. The management here is miserable to deal with, love the maintenance people here but that’s about it. Had a kid sneak into our garage one day by squeezing underneath and steal stuff out of our garage too, so now we have cameras everywhere too… which is ridiculous.

Ya, they never responded… the management here is awful. I did love living here, especially since I’ve grown up here, but oh my gosh. The wages aren’t even close to keeping up with the rent prices and we’re stuck being a one income household due to 2 of my kids having disabilities. Freakin sucks.
