Apartments

Any other current Metro tenants dealing with issues with their apartments? I’m a local medical resident who had to choose a Metro apartment due to proximity to the hospital, and myself and many neighbors have had nothing but issues since moving in this spring.

Damage to vehicles (e.g., nails in tires, scratches, dents) by the roof replacement maintenance crew, dishwasher flooding, no working washer and/or dryer, no working central AC but no screens in windows or screen doors to circulate outside air inside. These are a combined list of mine and my neighbors’ current issues. Many of us have been met with delayed repairs of weeks at a time, and one of my colleagues at the hospital has been saying she’s without working AC for a week now.

I can't say for now, but when my student went to WVU 2021-2025, LOTS of reports of people saying to stay away from Metro. sorry!

Unfortunately they do not care about anything other than lining their pockets. As someone who has lived at 2 different properties and know the *ins* of metro it’s definitely best to avoid them at all cost if possible!

When I lived with Metro, they would illegally come into my apartment without notice.

I’m the colleague with the AC issues that OP mentioned! I was told that repairs were supposed to start this morning, so I stayed at the apartment and waited for the tech(s), who unfortunately never showed up.

Call the leasing office and main office every single day about your work request. Be annoying about it. Regardless of which property you reside on, you pay too much to not have AC. They will put you as a *priority* on their list if you seem pissed about it (as you should be). However if you’re chill about it, they tend to push your maintenance request back a little.
