Do not rent from Colonial Management/ Skyviwe Apartments/ Gebhardt DevelopmentβΕ½ -
If you want a management company/ landlord that screws you over and never listens to you, THIS IS THE PLACE!!!
IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO RENT HERE, GET EVERYTHING IN
WRITING!!! INCLUDING MAINTENANCE REQUESTS!!!!
1) The management never answered the phone or responded to messages left on the answering machine.
2) They did nothing about the noise complaints or the drug activity.
3) They threaten residents with dogs to charge them for not cleaning up the dog poop, but they never actually go through with the charges, so BEWARE WHERE YOU STEP!
4) They wont make copies of your lease or other rental agreements (I've asked 5 times).
5) Beware they also don't require a co-signer or do a thorough background check on people that are "added onto the lease"
6) They don't trim the bushes around the apartment buildings
8) They parking lot is always full of glass, from the dumpsters, however, they never sweep it up.
9) They don't keep there move-out/check-out appointments.
10) They told me I had no cleaning charges, when i moved out and proceeded to bill me $80.00.
The apartment has an ancient kitchen, with a stove and dishwasher that seem to be from the 60's. You can hear everything that happens in the basement (including the washer and dryers). The washers and dryers are very small and don't work very well.
The area of Onsgard Rd and Orin Rd has a lot of drug activity and twice I came home and all of the cars of the whole right side of Onsgard Rd had the drivers side window busted in.
The apartment was in a great location to walk to MATC Traux.
The apartment was nice and spacious. The fridge was pretty nice too. Also both maintenance guys were really nice!!!
I rented from fall '09 through fall 10.
