Altamonte at Spring Valley Apartments

I signed a lease in July and was never able to move in because they never finished the renovations on my apartment. After paying all of the fees and signing the lease they finally allowed me to see the apartment. There were a plethora of problems ranging from broken fixtures to a bathroom that we couldn't actually use. The renovation was shoddy at best. We asked them to address our problems and have it fixed by the end of August, giving them plenty of time. Nothing was done. We had to leave our other apartment on Sept. 1st and had nowhere to go but the couch at my parent's house. It is November and they are finally going to let us out of the lease, but are demanding that we pay an additional $550 for an apartment that we never lived in. They claim this is because they didn't know we weren't living there until October, despite our continued conversations regarding the fact that the apartment was not, and is not to this day, move in ready. They also had the grace to say they COULD charge us $10,000. By the way, I only know this because I called them. They did not inform us of this additional charge in anyway. I'm lucky I called them when I did, because they planned to send it to collections this Friday. Some of the apartments here are probably nice, but based on my experience, and that of my downstairs neighbor (who had to call Altamonte Code Enforcement just to have some exposed wiring fixed after it injured his child because The Ashley wouldn't do anything about it) I would not recommend this complex to anyone.

to ask the neighbors before moving. The mold is awful. The maintance is patch up work.These apartments have a high turnover of tenants. People move but not this often. The ninty-nine dollar move in is true. But once you move in you find out quick it was a mistake.I the applicance or outdated and the other tenants patios remind you of the ghetto.The screen doors don't work. Pools area needs work.They advetise a tennis court. That is a joke. Rent at you own risk.The person who wrote the review on 3/4/2010 must work for the complex. They are only one satisfied with the complex. Just look at the empty apartments

This place is the BIGGEST rip off/ scam... They act all sweet and professional when they're trying to get you to move in /then when u do move in they change COMPLETLEY.. The biggest problem was the ELECTRICITY -thru Progress Energy which is the WORST anyways) For a small 2 bed apt my electric was almost 300/month !!!! Thats more than Ive EVER PAID 4 ANY place, evn my big house that was 4 bed/4 Bath 3000 SQ ft!! Progress told me they get ALOT of the issues w/this place due to POOR INSULATION. Also MAINTENANCE issues... since I moved in I did a "walk through" so they could fix what was "missed" 3 mos later, NONE of the TWO PAGE list has even been scheduled. There is more, but not necessary to list...

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PERVERTED MAINTENANCE MEN..(BOYS) I HATE LIVING HERE IM IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING OUT AS WE SPEAK!!!
