I have lived in apartments since I turned 18, with the exception of owning a house for less than a year. You do the math, but I've lived in apartments for a long time. Until I moved into my current complex, I've had barely any need for maintenance. Our larger apartment that we moved from last month had a leaky roof, plumbing issues, cabinets falling off their hinges, windows that wouldn't lock, and issues with sealing the windows and doors (we lived there 2 years). You might ask, why I stayed as long as I did and moved into another apartment in the same complex. The answer is I really have not found a better place to live without buying. My new apartment has been wonderful, with the exception of the window problem again. I refuse to ever open a window again.
Last night, the glue holding the place together came undone. The toilet started acting up with the water rising every time it flushed. The thermostat has been saying its 70 since the day I moved in, but that wasn't a big deal until it dropped into the 30s overnight. Becky has no cell phone coverage in her place, but I've had no problem until last night. Suddenly, I had no service when I tried to call the hubby for advice on what to do with the toilet. Yes, I did the basics, but they didn't work. So this morning I had a flooded bathroom. Oh joy! I still say its better that I can tell the complex and they'll deal with it rather than me waiting for a plumber. Its still annoying though.

The cell phone coverage comes and goes (mostly goes but on the rare occasion I can actually have a full conversation inside). The heat doesn't seem right in my apartment either--we'll have to compare notes. You know you can come across the hall any time . . .
Maybe you should look into another apartment complex.... :D
