i hated them when i lived at u. woods, so we moved to university village which ended up getting bought out by preiss co...and i havent had any problems with them this year, they've actually been pretty good about responding to maitenance calls, etc

hurry up and find a place so i don't have to live with Brek

3/28/2006 3:48:41 PM

I haven't had any serious trouble. I think we've only talked to them like twice. They got out here after we put in our maitenance at 5pm fairly quickly, ~6pm, I like living here.

Well they were shitty apartments when the built them at least 2 years ago, and they have not been rebuilt. So now they are shitty older apartments.

Wildwoods has mega bug issues though.

I haven't had any problems, only ones I have heard of were that they lose rent checks, so you can solve that by getting a receipt, simple enough. I've never had a problem, there's one girl there though that always acts like she has a pole up her butt but that's more of a personality problem, not really a management problem that would actually affect you.

Im enjoying Centennial Villiage off of Tryon.

The most recent problems friends have had have been the paperwork sort.

If you're going to go with them my advice would be to *seriously* fine comb the paperwork, and dont let them get away with anything on it. beyond that reciepts for rent checks, and get any stuff that you *might* want to prove later, in writing.

^Completely agreed (regardless of who you rent from).

I rented from Preiss my senior year and didn't have any problems.

Yes... I'd third all of that. The company itself is EXTREMELY disorganized. Let me say that again... EXTREMELY DISORGANIZED So, that being said... make sure that you check over everything yourself and know that you have your end of everything covered completely. I looked at Preiss company apartments, and although I am currently living in one of their complexes, I went the private owner route because I was very unimpressed with the way they handled showing us locations for rent. Also, I called in reference to a few of the houses that they have for rent in the area just about a month ago... they were not helpful at all. They knew nothing about the properties that they had for rent and refused to answer any of my specific questions. They directed me to their website which I had already perused and which did not have the answer to my question. Hope this helps and that your experience with them will be better than mine!

Oh yeah... I forgot to mention... we had an issue that was very specific to our situation and we had to get special directions from Preiss company to figure out how to handle it. Needless to say, it took weeks for us to actually get through all the levels of management and find a solution, which wasn't really a solution at all. Haha... but in between talking to all the different people, someone got confused... and they had something installed that doesn't make any sense whatsoever (just because they didn't understand the issue at hand). Anyway, just one of my many personal examples of them being hard to deal with.
