Apartment Review for Lake Meadows Apartments - Chicago, IL

I came to visit and apply for the apartments on around July 17th. I talked with a leasing agent and explained to him i was moving to chicago for school and I dont have a job lined up yet. I had brought a person with me to cosign just in case I needed one. My leasing agent told me its fine about the job situation and to just use my current income i have from my job back at home. I also gave him my loan information to use as a source of income. A week later he calls me and says "Do you have a job lined up in Chicago yet" I told him no and that i mentioned that to him already. He then goes on to say that i would need some sort of income otherwise i cant get the apt. I respond "well u knew that from the beginning why didnt you tell me this" I then ask him was loan information considered. he says " Loan information what loan information did u give that too me" I'm like yes. He like so you will be attending school. I'm like YES. He then says no that won't work still you would need to have a job.lSo then i inquire about a cosigner since he dont mention it. He agrees that would work and we go from there. No to go into too many details we basically go back and forth for an entire month because he would forget to tell me paper I needed to have in and he would forget things I told him and would call me to ask the same repetitive questions over and over. I finally send an email to management asking why this processs is taking over a month and why is the leasing agent so remedial. The next day I am approve. The day of move in I get to my apartment after signing the lease and the bathroom wall is falling apartment. I asked to me moved to another apartment. Every apartment I was shown had a problem with it. One the entire living room wall was falling apart, one the front door wouldn't open. I finally just settle for an apartment. I feel out a inspection sheet listing things wrong with the apartment. 3 weeks later still none of the things are fixed. I also find out that only one jack works in the apartment. The other you would have to pay the phone company to get it working. For me that was an incovienience considering I had my computer hooked up in the living room but had to run my phone cord to the bedroom . I tried to contact the building manager to find out if their was a way they could switch and make the living room jack work instead. I left her messages for two weeks straight, finally when I get in touch with her I say to her "I been trying to contact you for two weeks now" she rudely replies "concerning what" she doesnt seem to care that for the last two weeks i've been leaving her messages. I simply say "nevermind it doesnt matter" I ask her if someone can come fix the things wrong with my apartment because i have been here for three weeks now. She claims I am schedule for someone to come out on Friday, which was two days away. Of course Frideay comes and no one comes out...There is so much i can say about this place. There management and leasing office is so rude, uncaring and unprofessional. They charge entirely too much to treat tenants in such a way...
