I'd regale you all with my tale of woe with my property manager, but I think it will be quicker to just copy the email that I just sent to the company.
Yeah, I'm at the point where I'm hoping I have to transfer to SUU for my masters degree simply because it is the only school in the state (that doesn't suck) that isn't within commuting distance of where I am now and would give me an excuse to move.

For the second time this week I had to park on the street because someone was in my assigned space (about the only thing I'm getting out of my dues since the maintenance crew is so lazy and is slow to clear snow, doesn't paint over graffiti, and takes over a year of requesting just to get a tree trimmed... hell, even safety issues take forever to get taken care of) and being told that your company can't do a damned thing about it. To be blunt, that is bullshit. Every other place I have lived has had procedures in place to handle exactly that situation, the fact that you don't speaks volumes to your sheer incompetence.
What does it take to get you lazy bums to actually do your jobs?
In 5 years I've once received a copy of the financial statements, and they were so poorly prepared that even my community college professors at the time said they'd fail a freshman for turning in that work. The budget is completely unrealistic (seriously, budgeting on 100% occupancy with all the for sale signs in the complex... my 11 year old niece can see how stupid that is). When I first moved in, it took over a month to fix a broken sprinkler... and that was when I gave up and fixed it myself. It took over a year of multiple residents complaining just to get the trees trimmed so we didn't have to duck under them. Several times now there has been graffiti on the fences long enough that residents have given up and painted them ourselves. It's before taken months to get rotted balcony railing replaced (and by rotted, I mean less than 25% of the thickness was still there at some parts). Hell, even Comcast with our group account has admitted that we are low priority because they know you will never actually take the effect to complain and try to get them to be quicker or more efficient. Oh, and as an added bonus, a community pipe broke in my unit and was starting to slowly flood it and it took over two days to get a plumber out... I fear what would have happened had it been a bigger leak than it was. Oh, and my wall still hasn't been fixed from that one, all I keep getting is "we'll get back to you." And for all this amazing service, we are expected to pay nearly $2500 a year ($160 a month, plus a $500 special assessment each year, which when it happens every year stops feeling like a special assessment and starts feeling like a sneaky attempt at yet another raise in dues). Hell, I don't even know who our property manager is, they keep changing so frequently.
At this point, I honestly don't expect to see anything come from this, nothing has ever happened during the last 5 years, so I don't see any reason to believe anything will change in the next several years. But, in case this is read by the one competent employee there (assuming there even one is), my information is as follows
