ok this is a set up to the quote that i will be posting right after this post.
I lived in this apartment building (10 S Boulevard) last year, when my ex roomie (we’ll call him zach, because that’s his name) and i looked at it we loved it. great location, just like 14-17 blocks from campus aka 5 min bike ride, really close to carytown (about 20 blocks of cary street lined with boutiques and restaurants) where i work and love to chill, like half a mile away from the park. long story short it was a good location.
it turns out the place was an utter shit hole. i mean not really but it needed to be renovated. the fire escape was held up by a car jack, none of the doors really closed. not worth $1,095 a month.
the owners/landlords are larry and barbara hollister.
larry is just quite frankly a dimwitted asshole. barbara (his wife) is shrewd and skeezy.
we left the apartment on time, and they said the deposit check will be sent within 45 days. it wasnt. it’s been about 60 days, and i called just an hour ago. it was for $1,095.
and if they refuse to send me the deposit check, i will play hard ball. all i need to do is let the city that i was without a fire escape for 3 months (the people above me longer) and that construction was done without a building permit, and i’ll have it back.
