Sir James Apartments

Parking is out of control, and everybody seems to just park as the please. We have a parking spot with our unit, as well as pay for an EXTRA spot. For the 3rd weekend in a row our extra reserved spot is occupied. Last weekend and the prior there was a vehicle in our spot all weekend. We called the after hours line multiple times, as directed by management, to no avail. Another weekend without the spot we pay extra for. Tonight, there are 8(!) Vehicles parked along the fire lane. This is prohibiting us from getting into our other spot. So, another weekend, and a resident that pays extra for 2 parking spots, has nowhere to park. I recommend having Metrowatch make a presence on the weekends, as it becomes a free-for-all, and the recommendation of calling the after hours line gets us nowhere! Weeknights can be just as bad. Something must be done.

"I am posting this so anyone of you who do not own a home and you live life renting as a tenant know this if you don't already know this. I applied to rent an apartment and reading my email you will know what this is about. It would be great if you shared this on your wall so others know" My son became 18 just the past July and for the very reasons I discussed with her it is for those reasons they denied our applications. Hi Julie, First of all let me say that knowingly I disclosed to you that my son was barely 18 and that there wouldn't be any employment, credit history or lease history you and still asked me to fill out the application saying that you look for the results of the background check which in my view is very dishonest. In my case I did say also that my credit was less than good and you still asked me to fill out the application saying that my past rental history, income and other criteria mattered which was also dishonest because worse case scenario the real estate management or the owner makes money by charging the application fee. This is shameful I know the law allows you to do that however it is dishonest and very low on your part specially the denial on my son. I know there is nothing I can do legally however social media has a very strong impact and can be very damaging so I will make sure to spread out your company practices. The fact is you never verified my rental history, you never called my place of employment you never verified anything other run my credit and you knew on the basis of credit score you can dismiss any applicant that way. It is shameful and I will make sure people in social media know where you guys are located and your practices. As far as me is concerned I am renewing my lease where I live, I have a good job, good income and no harm done on my case but I will make sure people know what you do. I suggest you disclose the credit score you are looking for in the application that way you don't scam people with the application fee. People is not applying for a loan and you are not a bank either. Rental history should be more important. Shamefully thanks for the opportunity and have a good life with your dirty conscience.

Whatever you do, completely avoid this place if possible. Lived here for nine months and probably the worst mistake I've made. In the lease agreement after your 6 month lease ends you go into a month to month, which is perfectly fine. This isnt the first apartment I've lived in that's done that. So I put in my 20 day notice and let them know I'll be out in before the middle of the month, and that I'll pay for the time I've been there. All apartments I've ever lived in are completely fine with that and ask for payment from the beginning of the month til when I'm gonna terminate. Not sir James, they charge for the entire month and ask let you know when you can return your keys. Not only that but when I first moved in, the landlord would even change out the carpets even though there were clearly stains and rips in the carpet and it was so flat after having been used for just over 7 years and not having been removed and not only that but the neighbors are inconsiderate constantly parking in your assigned spot and because the on site manager isn't ever there you can't ever put in a complaint. Then the paint that they use is cheap and it melts when it gets overly hot or moist (especially in the bathroom) most of my counter tops were peeling or had holes in them and the bathroom shower had mold around the door that I tried over and over again to get rid of and it always came back.. And you can hear everything.... The windows are so thin and the walls almost as thin. Save your money and spend it somewhere that's worth it. If I could have rated this a no star, I would have.

When I first moved in, I love the layout! Shortly after moving in, several apartments and vehicles were broken into. The parking is a horrible nightmare. If your vehicle is between a truck and an SUV, expect your car paint to be scratch and/or dented. If you have a request for maintance, good luck. A year later, I am still waiting for several issues to be fix! Don't expect your security deposit back. The manager will make false promises and will refuse to put it in writting. You will be charged for things that were already there before you moved in. Carpets, dents or wholes on doors, hidden mildew (invest in bleach). There is something wrong with the plumbing, the toilets are always getting clug in the first floor. I had a huge plumber bill on the third day of my lease, shortly after, I was told by a plumber to invest on a plumbing snake (while living there, it became my best friend). If your upper level neighbors have pets (birds, guinea pigs) expect their waste to rain on your back patio, I was constantly cleaning that and cigarettes butts. If you have any comments or complaints, management will ignore you and refuse to reply any email and/or letters.
