Oakland Hills Apartments

To whom it may concern:nnLet this serve as official notice that I am hereby withholding rent, in accordance with Florida rental law, until such time as certain repair and quality of living issues are addressed. To whit: the lack of sufficient air conditioning in the unit. According to your maintenance supervisor, who was sent here last month to evaluate the issue of insufficient air conditioning, the unit currently installed is under powered. Additionally, the unit currently installed does not provide any cooling for the large living room and kitchen areas. A separate unit is needed in order to cool these areas. As I’m sure you are aware, it gets very hot here in Florida. Without an additional AC unit to service the living room, it gets extremely hot and uncomfortable in that area. And according to Florida rental law, that makes conditions unbearable. As such, it must be addressed immediately.nnAlso, the front door frame is rotted and the floor is sunken in at the threshold. This causes a rather large gap under the door which not only lets in heat and lets out any cool air, it also allows for bugs to enter the apartment. This is not only a quality of life issue, but it is also a safety issue, and must be addressed immediately.nnAlso, the tub has again cracked. As I warned you guys, simply patching the hole in the tub, which was present when you rented the apartment to me, would not be sufficient because the wood underneath was rotted from water damage. And as I predicted, the patch job has failed. The proper way to fix it would have been to remove the tub and replace the rotted wood underneath. Because it took nearly a month for this issue to be fixed after I moved in, I must insist that this issue be addressed immediately, and fixed properly this time.nnIf these issues cannot be addressed and repaired within a reasonable amount of time, then I must insist that you provide me with alternate accommodations until such time that they can be fixed. Either that, or you find me another unit within one of the properties that this company manages.

I have a section 8 voucher and this apartment complex is on gosection8.com advertising a one bedroom for 1200 monthly with a deposit of 500. I called and spoke to Maria yesterday who informed me that they had an apartment available and for me to come in today 2pm to meet with her and to see the apartment. I go in this afternoon and Maria informed me that someone moved into the apartment this morning. Then she proceeds to tell me that in order to live there that I need to make a minimum of 3600.00 per month. There’s no one on section 8 that makes that kind of money because they would have no need for assistance with paying their rent if they did.

So it’s been 2 weeks since I moved in and I must say I enjoy living here. It’s a great neighborhood, and the staff is very helpful, friendly and kind. They appreciate and value you as a tenant, customer service is exceptional when you call maintenance comes ASAP whether it’s during business hours or not. The units are very homey, all my appliances were completely new. They gutted the whole unit, we walked into a brand new apartment. My family will be staying here til we’re ready to purchase a home. Thank you Oakland hills, Best Monique N Terry Ambrose

I currently live here and I have to say next year I will not be renewing my contract. The moment I’ve moved in, my apartment is infested with roaches. In my contract with Oakland hills apartments says a exterminator is suppose to come in the beginning of each month to exterminate and I’ve only see them twice the whole time I’ve been living here. This is a health hazard and it’s disgusting. I even had to place roach bombs twice in my apartment but nothing has worked. I even placed an complaint when I first moved in about the situation and they tried to blame on me. The only good thing about Oakland hills apartments its low in rent as well Maria is really helpful and kind.

I dont live there any more in fact my family moved out 11 years ago but as a child (2006-2009) that place made my childhood the staff were so friendly, comfy place to stay and was a great community overall and i recommend that place Thank you guys so much for my childhood it means a lot.
