Sunset Village

The service is so bad that after 3 weeks of not getting a follow up on my security deposit I had to send this letter: July 31, 2015
Dear Alltimate Property Management,
It has been more than 30 days since the end of my tenancy. During this time, you have neither returned my deposit nor given me an itemized list of deductions from my deposit. According to state law, if you do not do one of these things within 30 days, you forfeit any claim on my deposit. Also, according to the law, if you do not settle this with me within 45 days of the date I moved out, I can take you to Small Claims Court and sue for double the amount of my deposit.
Unless you return my deposit in full in the next two weeks, I will have no other choice but to file in Small Claims Court for double the amount of my deposit. I hope this will not be necessary.
Sincerely,
Rich J Corpuz
* I get a phone call from someone totally new to my situation a day before their deadline (⁸⁄₁₃) asking me «where do you want your security deposit mailed to?». Ask the person who passed the buck to you dumbass! I gave that information to Alltimate over 50 days ago!

Oh, where to begin? The absolute worst place I’ve ever lived (though it’s a billion times worse now than at any point during which I lived there).
Dirty, bad tenants, loud, criminal activity, incidents of domestic violence, unkempt-​looking apartments, squatters, and lackluster management. This complex gets worse every single year that passes by.
Get this straight: the place is foul. It’s a sad, sad sight to behold these days, it truly is. The worst part of it is that Sunset Village wasn’t like this several years ago. Once a stately-​looking Art Deco apartment complex is largely now in ruins, overtaken by time, neglect and rampant crime.
It’s been sold multiple times (more times than anyone really knows) and has been under various «management teams» for years, mostly real estate groups with no physical presence in this country, let alone the community. There is no real on-​site security or maintenance, which explains the level of squatting that has currently become a real problem. The city has been slow to recognize this growing tempest of a situation, though there has been some talk of razing all of the buildings and starting over, but who knows? Unfortunately, Sunset Village is located within a pretty nice residential area across the street from a golf course and park near the hospital, so it’s become not only an eyesore for the local community, but a source of exploding criminal activity in recent years.
I couldn’t wait to move out when I did (which was years ago), although in retrospect, the place was like Buckingham Palace compared to what it looks like today. Centipedes have taken up resident in the apartments, which is truly pathetic, not to mention disturbing as hell. There are drunks and addicts sleeping in the hallways and milling around the doorways, grafitti scrawls etched along the exterior of the complex and missing brickwork on some of the buildings.

I lived here for 5 years. At first it was cool and cheap, but it just got yukkier each year I lived there. I moved as soon as I got a better job.
This is no place for a lady!
The pros:
The rent is still cheap (I guess), off street parking (if you’re lucky), and you are in walking distance to Kettering University and McLaren Hospital.
The cons:
Grubby and ugly buildings, shady neighbors, bugs and wack radiators that whistle and leak.
P. S. Two of my friends got their cars stolen from the lot!
