For the first two months my roommates and I lived in the apartment, the entire house smelled of sewage because there was a leaking pipe. Even after calling at least once a week we eventually called the health department and reported them. We sent a letter to Wylie holdings certified with our rent saying that we had contacted the health department. Even though they signed for the letter and we had a receipt saying that they signed for it, we got a call a month later saying that they never received our rent and obviously had no idea about the letter. Of course soon after that the pipe was fixed. The washing machine that was promised with the apartment did not show up until three months after moving in even after a number of calls. During the first winter our pipes froze. We had no water for three days. The landlords told us repeatedly that they had sent some one to fix it. The gentleman that came looked at it and then shortly left after putting a hole in our wall. We eventually complained about the repairman because he would show up for half and hour not fix anything and say he would be back the next day. The new repairman said that there was five different places in the pipe that were from past breaks. Eventually he replaced the pipe and actually put insulation in our wall. Not all of the walls, even though all of the walls in that room are outer walls and are exposed to the elements. Our house is very poorly insulated. The kitchen is always freezing as well as the bathroom. The vent to these areas work very poorly if at all. We eventually bought a heater to put in the bathroom because during the winter even with the heat on it would be about 35-45 degrees. During the end of this winter one of our windows next to a down spout started leaking. We have called them repeatedly about this and it has yet to be fixed three months later. Our washing machine broke around January. The first repairman actually didnt fix it. The first time it was used it broke again. The second repairman that showed up a few weeks later said the the motor was broken (had been for quite some time apparently) and leaking and he would talk to wiley about replacing it. He temporarily fixed it but said we would need a new one soon. As I am writing this five months later it has yet to be fixed. There is a hole in our basement. Every time it rains, water comes streaming in and covers the entire basement floor. We told them about this when we first moved in and they have yet to fixed that, two years later. Now we get to what really motivated me to write this.... As we speak, I am listening to the rain coming down in my kitchen from multiple areas. It started leaking last fall. They sent repairmen over to fix our roof, which they did. Of course they did a horrible job because now in the spring the leak has come back. Its much worse than before. This time it started about two weeks ago. We called them the day that it happened. They told us that some one would be there the next day. No one showed. We called the next day and the same thing happened again. And again. And again. Finally some one showed up a week later. He came over for a half an hour, didnt fix anything and left. We have called since then and no one has yet to show up. So lets recap. Its raining in my kitchen. My window is leaking still. My basement is flooding. My washing machine is still broken. Oh and by the way, my neighbors who also rent from wiley have complained about similar problems. Right now, I am praying that my kitchen collapses so I can get out of my contract with them. No, I will never rent from wiley again. We pay our bills in full every month on time. We dont have any parties. We are quiet and we havent inflicted any damage to the house. Please do not rent from this landlord. They need to be stopped. Please tell everyone you know about this post. I dont want anyone to go through what I have had to go through.
