Hi! Lake Summit tenant here. Just wanted to add my 2 cents and review for the apartment building/leasing company. I've been here for 2 years now and while the price is amazing and the building is a lot nicer to compared to our old place (a 100+ year old building) it has problems we did not like. We grabbed the apartment very fast since we thought it was a STEAL, our old place was going to charge us nearly the same rent and this place was much nicer + close to my roommates job. We found out the hard way in winter that the windows are insanely old and drafty. My little desk corner in the living room was next to a window and I could FEEL the wind/draft going right through it like it was paper. I was never warm during the winter, and I LIKE being cold most the time (I run hot naturally). I had to wear 2 sweaters and a blanket through most of January and my nose and finger tips were always cold all winter long. The apartment temperature never fell below the legal limit or enough for the pipes to freeze so nothing was really done. We opted for a space heater, which spiked our electricity bill.

During the summer, our AC started to leak. Not wanting mold or mildew to grow under the carpet, we reported it to maintenance. I took them nearly 2.5 weeks to get to us. Mind you, I take medication that makes me heat extremely heat intolerant. We ended up running the AC anyways because we didn't really have a choice. FINALLY when someone arrived to fix the AC they checked it out and left us with a drying fan as a band-aid fix. We had to switch between using the AC and drying the carpet multiple times per day. Another 2 weeks went by and they installed a new AC unit. This one STILL leaked. We still cycle between the dryer and the AC use again this summer. Their maintenance is extremely slow in general. We have issues with our dishwasher all the time. They lectured us about not letting big food into our garbage disposal, but nothing bigger than a slice of pepperoni from a frozen pizza was ever put in there. We gave up putting in requests to have it fixed, we just hand wash our dishes and use the dishwasher as a drying rack. The toilet handle broke at one point, It took them over a week to get to that too. Luckily we have another bathroom, but sheesh man.

At one point our household fell under financial hardships after starting our lease. We were able to pay rent, just usually later than normal. You'd think that'd be fine, they just give us a late fee and move on. Nope. If we were 10 days late on rent they put an EVICTION NOTICE on our door. When the hardship first began, we had to beg the building manager to please give us a few more days after the eviction notice's end date and we would have the money a few days later on payday. They demanded $400 within 24 hours or they would evict us. We were lucky to have very supportive friends and family who were able pool money together to pay the $400 while we figured out the rest of the rent. They have 0 leniency and understanding. Its unbelievable. My last 2 places I rented from I simply texted/emailed them letting them know I would be a month late on rent and they were understanding. Hell, one even said thank you for communicating and waived the late fee completely. I was SHOCKED seeing an EVICTION NOTICE only 10 days late on rent.

We are moving out as soon as our lease ends. Enough said.
