Apartment Review for Ravine Bluff - Columbus, OH

The buildings are in a great state of hidden dis-repair. The maintance staff has no experience - and even if they did they have been ordered to do nothing more than absolutly necessary to appear to abide by the laws. The staff is rude, and dis-honest. There have even been break-ins to several apartments by the maintenance staff - including mine - under the false pretense of repairing items that were never repaired in the end. The drywall is covered in mold - and the only treatment given is a fresh coat of paint to hide it. When I moved in there were several issues on my move-in check list that were never addressed even though it was made clear that they were safety issues. Including several outlets that did not function, two burners on the stove that have faulty wiring, the deadbolt on my back door not functional, screens missing from the upstairs windows, and hugh gaps between the door and frame. When given my notice to move the management waited until the 60 day notice period had expired then proceeded to tell me that my notice was invalid because it was not approved by the office within the 60 day notice period - even though it was in their possession for almost 70 days prior to their contacting me, with another 35 days before my given termination date. The turnover rate of tenats is HIGH - I would estimate at over 50%, with most tenants leaving long before their first year is up. And many apartments remain empty for months between tenats becuase of the low quality and safety issuse of these apartments. My strong advise - turn away, run fast, and find someplace else to live.
