This place was a face lift from HELL!!!!!! Literally the WORST apartment living experience I've ever encountered in my life. If you want a the lowest run down apartment in SW Portland, these are them. I found these apartments by word of mouth, and without deep research signed a 1yr lease. BIGGEST MISTAKE of my rental life. From the very beginning there were electrical issues and some minor issues. Dylen Chen & Monica Chen (manager/landlord), assured me those things would be taken care of no problem. Never happened. Then a few months into my lease, my apartment was literally FLOODING, kitchen sink would fill up with the upstairs neighbor waste, and the dishwasher would just POUR out water, regularly. My bathroom fan (the light and fan were connected), was RAINING, yes RAINING. We were never able to use the bathroom or the kitchen. I was constantly trying to contact Dylen & Monica by phone and written maintenance request, and they NEVER respond. Forget the only 2 "maintenance" workers, one of, who sits around and gets high all day (big white guy who keeps prostitutes in and out of his VAN) and the other does NOT speak a lick of english. (Ramone) I worked 2 full time jobs, modeled and had 2 children (5 & 7). We were never home except after 7, 8pm. Every time I came home, My house was flooded, and electricity was off (I paid the ridiculous amount of electric bill due to the unnecessary Heating/AC Unit). Not to mention the HEAVY drug activity that takes place on a regular basis. From known meth addicts who hang out in the parking lot yelling at people, to the pot heads who openly smoke everywhere. It got to a point where when I finally did get ahold of Dylen, he would FIGHT and ARGUE with me about contacting him to fix things! When the end of my lease came close, I was forced to have to file a small claims lawsuit, and he retaliated with a forceful eviction. No problem. I moved out. I then received a BILL from them for all kinds of BULL charges. Charges for water damage, charges for RATS CHEWING ON THE MOLDING AND DROPPINGS, Charges for ELECTRICAL issues (which by the way, i was NEVER able to use my refrigerator or stove) but my Court date for him was this last Monday.... Guess what happened.....? I WON! RUN FAR AND FAST, unless you dont speak ANY english, and are into the drug scene, this is NOT the place for civilized, comfort living. Nowhere near it.
