Apartment Review for Parke Place Apartments - Charlotte, NC

We were brought into the apartment complex during the time that the manager that was fired was running the place. There were constantly new tenants coming in, proper upkep was kept of the premises, and the community was very nice and felt like home, until the current property management company came in and made rediculous changes. All the while, they lost track of all of the records of payments by the tenants, that they could have called the previous manager and found out when everything was paid. They then proceded to contact all the tenants that were left to provide records of payments only to say that the previous manager didn't turn the payments in on time, therefore attempting to charge those tenants late fees. We have since, moved. Numerous complaints have been made about the condition of the apartments as well. For 6 months, there has been a shut down staircase that nothing has been done about, the upstairs walkways are falling apart, and the gutters are falling apart. The cleanliness of the apartments are horrid. An apartment is open with black bathroom fixtures(that is black as in they are dirty and need to be replaced) and they have suggested other tenants to move into this apartment. We were notified one time in the year and half that we lived there that a pest control unit was coming to our apartments, and as stated, we placed our pets in the bathrooms, but this pest control never came. Every other unit has had Carbon Monoxide Detectors installed, by the maintenence team. It was just dropped off at our door for our unit. The maintenence crew from this complex are very discriminatory toward their tenants as well. A large amount of the remaining tenants fall into the "Goth" lifestyle. The ignorance of the maintenence staff has led to them referring to these tenants in a derogatory way as the "Black People" We left the apartment as is and did not bother to spend any extra time and money into cleaning the apartment, just due to the poor treatment we have recieved from the complex management.
