22 Exchange

So I signed a 1 year lease and tried to get out of it half way through due to a school transfer, I tried finding someone to take over my lease and went to the leasing office to see if they could help me find someone take it but they said «we have to fill every empty room in the building before we can help you» which to me didn’t make any sense because wouldn’t my room had been considered empty? But besides that the workers never knew what they were talking about, always «lost» or «don’t remember» your payments and whenever you asked them something it was always «uh uh», and maintenance sometimes takes days to come, definitely not worth the price, AT ALL

What a nightmare from the first move in day. We were promised a 500.00 visa card if we signed the day we toured. We explained that we did not have the rent yet and needed to wait till then to move in. Oh no problem they stated we will just have you sign a promissory note on move in day. Will we still get the 500.00 visa card. «Oh, Yes that won’t be an issue as long as you sign the promissory note on move in day.» So we signed… Then it all began… Move in day all rent is due no promissory note until after a huge argument and being told it wasn’t on the lease agreement. We were told it would all be done on move in day. Foolish us for trusting the manager. Well, he finally got an agreement and moved in and it only got worse. We paid the rent current as soon as the refund check arrived from the school. «No you can’t get the refund as your rent was late.» REALLY this was the agreement. We also had to fight and call the corporate office just to get the 20.00 gas card promised if we bought a overnight parking pass on campus. It was a fight to get anything they promised. We moved our boy out in November due to the 22 exchange not following through on their promises. He turned in his key and left the place as it was at move in. We were told they would re-​rent it asap not to worry about it as the rent was current. Well here we are in March getting an attorney and ready to prepare for a court as now they are evicting us. REALLY evicting someone that moved out… OKAY so I call only to hear I need to bring the account current and then they could rent it out again. DUHHHH it was current when we moved out. They turned it over to collection for rent till next September. I guess no plans of renting it as as there are too many empty vacancies… Why rent it when you can sue the parents… Cynthia Smith The manager called only made thing more concrete that I am so glad we are out of that place and no longer have to deal with the management. It is horrible and the San Diego is no better. DONT SIGN unless you need a headache…

Oh boy am I glad to be able to review this piece of shit establishment.
Don’t live here. Listen to me, if you are any kind of self respecting student trying to find a nice place to live near campus, for the love of all that is holy DO NOT LIVE HERE. I was unfortunate enough to live here the first year they opened. They lied to everyone and didn’t have amenities finished when promised, didn’t match roommates very well, and didn’t change their shitty management ways despite a death in my building. I hope for their sake and the sake of the students in the area, they have changed, but I doubt it. They don’t actually care about the well being of those who pay out the ass to live here, despite the insanely nice facility and brand new building. When I was here, they didn’t do a thing about people running around and destroying the property or treating it poorly. I only suggest this place if you already have roommates picked out and don’t mind paying out the ass for what is a very nice building (can’t lie about that) with, hands down, THE worst management team I have ever encountered in my life.
Do. Not. Live. Here.
