Swiss Chalet 2425 Montana Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio 45211 Larry S. Wesley Bed Bugs Stealing out of my bank account Cincinnati, Ohio

As tenants of this apartment complex, which is now called Arbor at Montana, my girlfriend and I felt the need to comment on this claim. We have now been here for 2 years. Tracy no longer works here, but when she did, there was never any shady or unlawful behavior that we saw. Since having lived here, we have also personally gotten to know Larry, the owner, as well as others involved in both maintenance and office work here. We both can speak to his integrity and character. Neither us nor others in any of the other buildings have reported any dealings like this with him or other employees here. In fact, we are both often amazed at how much time Larry personally puts into making sure these apartments are well maintained and kept clean, etc. On one occasion there was a cockroach outside. However, we saw a pest control person the next day and have never seen another either in a building or outside in the nearby grounds. On the same note, we have never seen a single bed bug here, nor have we ever heard complaints from other tenants about such problems. In our experience, after years of seeing Larry and his employees tend to issues quickly, there is not a doubt in my mind that if we even mentioned having seen a single bed bug, a pest control person would promptly be alerted and the issue would have been cared for quickly.

It is important to note that if you do a google image search for the images posted on this complaint, the images come from a pest control website. We know this because the image of bedbugs used in this report showed an area that clearly was made of plywood, of which there is none of in our apartment. Since there is not an area in our apartment that resembles the one depicted in the image, we were prompted to try a google search. As an example, the image of bedbugs was found on this link: http://www.pestcontrol.us/blog/category/pest-related-diseases/

As we are two tenants that have not had any problems with Larry or any employee of his in 2 years now, and, in fact, have only had extremely good experiences, we felt the need to simply provide others that may consider this apartment complex with a honest, fair, and more thorough assessment. While no landlord is ever perfect, Larry is not even remotely like the picture painted by this report. We believe that this person may simply have had a bad experience for some reason and felt the need to exaggerate or mislead people about their experience out of spite. We have seen people move in here, then have to leave shortly after, but knew that there were clear violations of their lease agreement, leaving Larry with every right to proceed with pursuing what are standard legal rules and procedures once a lease is violated or broken. Furthermore, if the person did not have their possessions present in the first place, there would be no reason for a landlord to charge a brand new tenant for the removal of a pest, as stated in the report. While we empathize with the person that made the report and any hardships that may have presented problems in life or caused them to be "suicidal" even, based on our personal experience, this report is likely not representing the truth of the circumstances. That said, to anyone considering renting here, Larry and his employees are all great people and this complex is actually a great deal. With very reasonable rental prices, good maintenance, and even security that patrols at night (since Westwood is not the best neighborhood at times), we believe this to be a rare find in apartment searches in the Cincinnati area and recommend it to anyone. On top of that, they even love pets here and allow them, which is tough to find these days.
