University Place Apartments

I signed a 9 month lease with them and so far I can’t complain. The staff is nice and they always remember me and my apartment number despite dealing with so many tenants. I only had one issue at the beginning of my lease with a few appliance breakdowns and the A/​C not cooling enough, but it was all fixed within two weeks, a little long but not terrible. After that everything is nice.
The apartments are old and from the seventies so if you live on the bottom floor like I do you have to deal with a lot of squeaky noises coming from upstairs neighbors. The apartments are spacious for the rent. The only downside is the community washer/​dryers that you have to walk to and pay 75cents a wash and 50 cents a dry per load… you have to stock up on quarters living here… and definitely make sure you have an ironing board and iron.

I stayed here on a year lease. Among the many issues I had with maintenance, the real issues came at the end of my lease. I came to UPA needing a place to stay just moving from Georgia. Upon my initial application, I was told that nothing would be available for at least two months, and anything that came up would have to be renovated, before I moved in. I was offered an apartment a week later, and told that no renovation had been made on the apartment that was available. I said that it would be fine, because I needed a place to stay. The management informed me that since the apartment was not renovated, I would not be held accountable for any more stains to the carpet, as it would be ripped out anyway for the renovation. While in the apartment my a/​c went out. I contacted maintenance and after a month of no a/​c they finally made the repairs. Two months prior to the end of the lease, I was given notice that I had to be out a month before the lease ended, but was still required to pay for the last month so that they could rent out the apartment, and not lose money. After I left I received a bill for $ 950. They charged me for damages to the carpet along with damages to the new «unmade» renovations. DTI Properties are crooks. Find another apartment complex to call home. The only real positive I have to make about the apartment is that the office staff was friendly.
