My experience in this residential complex was distressing and unacceptable. During the first two years, I lived peacefully, but everything changed with the arrival of new neighbors on the floor below, who began harassing me from the very first day over any minimal noise, even during completely reasonable hours like noon. I clearly remember one day when I was cutting a coconut at 12 PM, and immediately they started banging on the ceiling in an exaggerated way. I went to the administration to explain the situation, expecting support… and what I received was a notice directed at me, telling me that I had to “control the noise.” I was the victim, and yet I felt completely unprotected.
This happened even if my phone accidentally fell, while I was cleaning, or even just walking in my own apartment. It was my home, and I was paying rent! — and high rent! — for a one-bedroom apartment. To clarify, I had already been living there for 2 years, on my second lease, and had never before received a single noise complaint. All of this harassment started exclusively with these new neighbors.
Over time, the unfair complaints against me multiplied, including threats of eviction from management, while the neighbors who were truly causing disturbances never faced any consequences. The administration even offered to put carpet in the apartment as a “solution” to a problem that was not mine, showing favoritism and completely incompetent management. The situation became so hostile that I felt forced to cancel my lease in May, with my final move-out in July, and yet they charged me more than $5,500, an exorbitant and unjustified amount for a place where I could not live in peace.
In addition, I felt unsafe: the neighbors downstairs would sometimes stay outside staring at me in a threatening way, and I even felt that they were watching me with some unknown intention. For that reason, I decided to leave that place as quickly as possible; I felt vulnerable and in danger. I am not exaggerating: EVERYTHING was wrong with this administration and those neighbors.
The worst part was the sense of racial discrimination and bias: my complaints were ignored while certain neighbors were favored, leaving me completely vulnerable. This experience reflects not only administrative negligence but also a hostile and unfair environment. No one should have to live like this or pay such a high amount just to be ignored, harassed, and mistreated in their own home.
The administration can say whatever they want in response to this review. They will always try to “look good,” but actions speak louder than words. Their actions were horrible. No empathy. No solution. If neighbors are bothered by any noise, they should not move into a second-floor apartment. Or in that case, they should rent the entire building just for themselves so that no noise bothers them!
I have left this hell. And I repeat: DO NOT LIVE HERE. Everything seemed fine until a real problem arose… and THEY WILL NOT SOLVE ANYTHING FOR YOU.
