🚩 THE APARTMENT REVEAL 🚩 After months of storytimes, I’m finally sharing where all of these experiences happened: The Clark at Village District (formerly The Berkshire), 2128 Clark Ave, Raleigh, NC, managed by RPM Living. The current lease dispute is what finally pushed me to share the name, but unfortunately, it’s far from the only issue I’ve experienced during my three years living here. Over the years, I’ve dealt with: MAINTENANCE & APPLIANCES * A dishwasher that was broken for nearly the first six months of my tenancy. It wasn’t replaced until it was overheating so badly that it was burning hot to the touch. * A washing machine repaired using a damaged part with a hole in it, which caused my closet to flood and damaged my vacuum. Management initially said they would cover the vacuum because it was their mistake, but later backed out. * Blinds that were falling apart. The head of maintenance actually told me they were supposed to have been replaced before I even moved in. They were never replaced during my three years there. BUILDING & PROPERTY ISSUES * Repeated elevator breakdowns and ridiculously long wait times, even when the elevator is working. * Birds repeatedly tearing material from my window screens to build nests, leaving massive holes. Management refused to replace them, meaning I couldn’t comfortably open my windows without bugs flying inside. * Building power washing that sent water into my apartment through my open windows. When I complained, I was told that if I had a problem with it, I could sue. * Multiple instances of maintenance entering my apartment without advance notice, including once while I was showering. Fire alarms CONSTANTLY going off.. MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATION * Their rent payment system went down, and residents were still threatened with late fees, late notices, and eviction-related notices over payments that weren’t processed because of the system issue. * And now, a lease extension dispute after I was told a full month was required, only to later be told that information was incorrect. The manager is now claiming I insisted on extending through a date I didn’t actually need, based on a verbal conversation that never happened. * After escalating the issue and requesting that further communication be in writing, the higher-up I contacted stopped responding. I’ve included screenshots of some of the actual correspondence throughout the video so you can pause and read the receipts for yourselves. To be fair, the location is fantastic. You’re within walking distance of downtown Raleigh and right in Village District. But a great location doesn’t make up for the experience I’ve had living here. These are my personal experiences over three years, and based on them, I would not recommend this property.
