Montecarlo Apartments

Spoke with someone named Michael Scott Beyers who claimed to be a realtor advertising an apartment on craigslist here. The Landlord’s name was Thomas Slavin. He provided my husband and I with his realtor license and the ID number. We looked him up and he was legit. We sent him our application fee and security deposit and were supposed to move in 9/27/2024. When we got to the apartment, he did not reply or answer the phone. Went to the leasing office and found out that apartment was already rented. I don’t understand how an actual realtor would scam us out of our hard-earned money, even after sending us his license number but please be careful who you are speaking to before you send any money. We even signed the leasing agreement and all with the Landlord and they still took our money smh. We will be pursuing legal action and our banks have already refunded us.

HONEST REVIEW: Renting here would be a Hugh mistake. There is an overwhelming presence of roaches throughout the property. Regardless of your cleanliness (and I am a professional cleaner), roaches will invade from neighboring units. I have attempted to exterminate them, set traps, and even found them in the refrigerator. Additionally, the Homeowners Association (HOA) imposes expensive fees for minor infractions; for instance, hanging clothes on your balcony incurs a $500 charge, while leaving a package outside your door for too long results in a $250 fee. They impose these charges yet neglect to repair the elevator, which has been out of service for two years, forcing residents on the 6th floor to climb six flights of stairs. This situation is absurd! Furthermore, renters are required to pay for permanent parking spots; as a paying tenant, shouldn’t I at least receive complimentary parking for one vehicle? There are laundry facilities on-site that also require payment. These apartments are riddled with hidden fees. Upon moving in, it was evident that the entire apartment needed a fresh coat of paint . The hallways smell like urine. My last complaint, in July of 2024 there was extreme rainfall event. The drainage system around the apartment complex was inadequate, leading to water levels rising above the height of car tires and causing flooding that affected the engines of over 100 residents’ vehicles. While the heavy rain itself is not the responsibility of the apartment management, they could have taken action by calling a truck to remove the excess water. As a result, I was unable to leave my apartment for three days.
