Yes, my apartment is much nicer and updated then where I used to live... but living here has been nothing but constant issues. Have someone visit and they want to park in a parking lot that is never used? They will be towed. Want to throw a ball in the ONLY gated area (when the pool is closed for winter) with your dog? You'll get in trouble. Want to check mail? Takes them about a week to put it out. Want to make your apartment cooler because your sweating through the night? Go spend $100 on a floor fan. Get a dog that's hypallergenic and does not shed? Still have to pay a massive fee ALONG with an extra fee per month.
I have been in Clemson for 3 years now and truly cannot wait to graduate and not have to deal with this place anymore.
Grace,
We're sorry to hear that you regret your decision. However, each of the practices to which you've expressed concern exist for a very good reason, or are much more liberal than other housing providers in the area.
Towing - Your fellow residents become quite upset if parking isn't patrolled. If you had a visitor that chose to disregard the parking policy, please understand that we have provided maps and signage to guide guests into visitor spots, and that you would likely share in being upset if we didn't enforce the parking policy and you were left without a space.
Pets Inside the Pool Area - Forbidden by law. We are simply complying with health code.
Mail - If you have mail that hasn't shown up, please address that with us. We observe the mail being distributed into boxes. Perhaps the letters are delayed in arriving here from the post office?
Air Conditioning - We've adjusted thermostat settings and vents for multiple residents. All we need is a maintenance request.:)
Pets - A majority of landlords in Clemson do not allow pets. And while we are pet-lovers, the responsibility of protecting the property does fall to us. Your pet may not shed, but pet hair is typically the least of the damage a pet can do. If your fellow residents with pets pay a fee, we must require the same of you. This is something we disclose in the lease long before pets are ever approved.
While we may not share the same opinion, we certainly value your feedback as much as we do the positivity we receive every day from satisfied residents. Perhaps your feedback is even more valuable, as it affords us the opportunity to reflect and improve.
Thank you,
Clemson Lofts
