Vantage Point Apartments I hate living here. Bed bugs, roaches, no hot water and the management could care less. Denver Colorado

It used to be not so bad. I've lived here since July 2005. Since the good manager quit and the good assistant manager was fired in the summer of 2007, this place has gone downhill. The new assistant manager let some extremely dirty people move in behind me. They gave me bed bugs and I have never seen so many roaches IN MY LIFE! The exterminator AND the new manager, Patrick, told me they were the problem. Did they evict them? NO. I don't even want to go through the long list of crap we had to go through to get rid of the bed bugs, it SUCKED! They waited a whole month and a half for the problems to get worse and worse before I finally hear last Friday that those dirty dirty people are getting kicked out.

They put new siding on the buildings, just covering up the rotting, disgusting wood that had numerous holes and patches because of the squirrels. The parking lot lights were damaged somehow during the construction and were out for a MONTH! Sometimes I get home from work and leave for work when it is dark. It is not a "high end" neighborhood, nor is it really bad, so it freaked me out every time I had to go into that dark parking lot by myself. Even after calling the office several times to complain, they ignored me and the problem.

Nobody ever answers the emergency pager. We went without electricity for an entire weekend last summer. Everything in our refrigerator spoiled. The same weekend we found the bed bugs, our kitchen sink literally exploded! As our kitchen was flooding and running down into the apartment below us, nobody was answering the emergency pager. Luckily, another friend of ours in the building was friends with one of the off duty maintenance guys who came and fixed the problem.

Our carpet was wet for several days and our apartment smelled like mildew for over a week... it was disgusting. Currently, I haven't been able to take a hot shower in nearly two weeks and I've taken cold showers for the last two days. I even called the office yesterday to tell them and never heard back. I just took another cold shower and killed a giant roach crawling on the wall. I've had it!

Oh, and the disgusting people we share this building always leave the laundry room trashed, never clean out the lint traps and some un-fit mother let her child climb all over the machines. There have been child sized muddy footprints all over that room (the machines, the walls, the windows) for a while now and nobody has cleaned it! *SCREAMS!*

I wrote this on Jan 16th (today is Jan 30th) and there are STILL problems with the hot water. They won't comp me on my rent for all the hell I had to go through with the bed bugs and the numerous roach treatments. A friend of mine used to work here and she warned me this company likes to sue and take you for everything they can if you break your lease so I think I'm completely stuck until September. I hate this :(
