The Ad read "Gorgeous Live/ Work Loft!" "Cooks Kitchen Ready NOW!" $5000 month and $5000 deposit. Well, all things being equal: nothing like that exists in this bug infested, broken down dump. The truth is the price and after that, since the appliances were (to any decent eye) fished out of a dump.
From promised repairs, that have never started, to termites and not a single corner of the "Live Work Loft" can be effectively lived or worked, in. What is worse,endless bugs, including spiders, beetles, etc. Nothing happens, except wasted days talking about fixing. Got a lawyer. Systematically, wasted $10,000 of time talking to them "about fixing."
So, any decent person would leave. Any decent landlord would either fix or let me leave.
But not the "Westmark Harris," are not interested in normal business. Letter from landlord:
"Landlord has changed his mind and is holding miss *** accountable for the full 12 months of the lease at $5000 per month. In addition, we would like to warn you-that he is 'Seasoned in Litigation and Deep Pocketed.'" Let me be clear: I have paid these sick, slumlords $20,000, moving from out of state: $7000 for movers, incidentals and cleaning $3000, Attorney/ $10,000.
These people, have ruined my clothes (defunct washer), health (fecal matter on dishes from "OLD DIRTY WATER CIRCULATING") their words, not mine, bugs, beatles spiders at infinitum, among many, many other unacceptable living conditions for (paid in advance $20k).... NOW threatening me (BULLYING) with "Deep Pockets and Seasoned Litigation?

This review doesn't surprise me since it says your building was designed/decorated by Velvet Hammerschmidt Design. I hired them once, but NEVER AGAIN. Not happy with their work or attitudes.
