Camden Property Trust

I moved into Camden Harbor View Nov 2020. It was the pandemic and the area seemed okay.

Once everything opened up again it was a nightmare. Cars stolen,tenants beaten, car break ins - cars set on fire - DEA busting a Mexican Drug Ring - and let's not forget Jerimah from Maintenance who went into apts and put in cameras - google it. I had to put a bar under my door handle which made it impossible for any emergency entry which would be life threatening. Their solution get an alarm - big deal - an alarm - how about better security?

I got a doctor's letter to leave for health reasons - I left with no money due and the apt had no issues. They are trying to get $1,054 (might be 56 don't remember) for days under 30 for notice. Now their manager who now is in anothe property - didn't like me as I held him accountable for his lies. He has people over and one tenant I knew somewhat from the dog park, and she tells me he went into his company email from apt and opened up emails to Camden and himself and mocked me with the others in the room with another tenant present.

I told them abut it nothing done I told them try to collect that imaginery money and I will sue you - well it is 6 months and I see they put me in collections - dumb move they now have me interviewing attorneys and I understand this is a big ticket lawsuit with a company with big pockets, Oh and I found a homeless man living in our utility closet - a tenant came home to a man in her unit smoking crack eating her food and took a dump in her toilet. Look at the reviews and look at U Tube videos of the teens gone wild and our fires were on the news.

I forgot rats and cockaroaches so bad tenants had to vacate their units and Camden would not relocate them. Wanna move here?

I feel its important to share my experience at Camden Manor Park so that others can make an informed decision.
While the location is convenient and the property has potential, Ive faced several ongoing issues that have made my time here very challenging.
Electrical Fire I experienced an electrical fire in my unit, which was very concerning.
Flooding from Upstairs Unit My unit was flooded twice due to issues with the apartment above me. Unfortunately, the response and resolution process felt slow, and the impact on my living conditions was significant.
Safety Concerns There have been multiple domestic disturbances and some incidents of theft on the property.

While I understand that some things are out of managements control, I didnt feel there were enough steps taken to reassure residents or improve security.
Pest Issues Roaches have been a recurring problem for many residents, despite keeping our units clean, and Ive also noticed rats around the parking lot and trash areas. These are serious concerns that really need stronger pest control measures.
Maintenance and Cleanliness The restroom sinks in some of the units also give off a strong sulfur-like smell, which hasnt been resolved despite attempts to report it.
Toilet Functionality My toilet has had flushing issues for quite some time. Rather than sending a licensed plumber, I was advised to plunge it regularly and pour hot water with detergent down the drain.

While I understand temporary fixes, I expected a more professional long-term solution.
I truly believe this community could be great with more consistent management attention and stronger follow-through on maintenance and safety. Im sharing this in the hopes that improvements are made both for current and future residents.

I am extremely disappointed with Camden Apartments management regarding the unjust parking fine I was forced to pay. Despite paying my parking fee regularly, my car was locked simply because my parking sticker had unknowingly fallen off.

Instead of checking my license plate or payment records, management chose to issue a fine. I have reached out multiple times, both in writing and in person, to explain the situation, yet they refused to resolve the issue and unfairly placed the full responsibility on me. They had the power to assist but deliberately chose not to. As a result, I was left with no choice but to pay an unfair fine, and this entire experience has made it clear that the management lacks proper customer service and problem-solving skills.

Additionally, the walls between apartments are extremely thin, making it impossible to have any privacy. I can hear my neighbors' conversations, movements, and even their TV at all hours, which is highly disturbing.

If you are considering moving to Camden Apartments, I strongly advise you to think twice, as the management has proven to be unhelpful and dismissive when it comes to resident concerns. Given the high rent prices, I expected a much more professional and customer-oriented approach, but unfortunately, they fell far short of those expectations.

After a multitude of trouble, I moved in, I realized the toilet did not work. I had to jump through hoops to get somebody to come here.

I also realized that any of the corrections that I asked from the day before were not corrected. Like the lock on the back door.

- this morning I woke up to what seems to be a pool in the entire apartment. The water did not come from the front door, so that is very concerning. Now, I am concerned about mold in the walls.

And the ceiling falling through from the top of my neighbor upstairs. There is no explanation to where this water came from. And Im still waiting for them to come to the apartment.

I called at 6:20ish. They told me it was going take an entire hour to come to my house.

I have an entire flood. in my other apartment building, they wouldve been here already. I feel like they are very lazy here, the people that work here live here. Its possible that they take care of their friends and neighbors.

But not this apartment.

Or any of the other apartments Ive been in. They were disgraceful.

We have lived at Camden for over 2 years, the noise in these apartments is horrible and while previous managers have been gracious enough to call the neighbors on the noise levels at all hours of the day or night, the new management team will only say "that's apartment living" and does nothing.

We have a private garage and complained about people parking in our spot, a spot we pay $100 a month for, all we got as a response was "that's apartment living, call us when it happens ", that has made my daughter late to work more than once.

The trash service rarely comes and even then doesn't collect the trash from all buildings, they have done nothing about it and are now threatening to fine the residents for leaving trash out even when not picked up by the service we pay for.

They are increasing rents $400 a month, but the "secure gates" are broken 90% of the time. An additional exit to the community is locked, leaving 22 buildings of roughly 14 apartments each only 1 entrance and exit. I hope there's never an occasion that requires evacuation of the complex, because that won't happen.

Packages are stolen off doorsteps on a regular basis, and if you complain on the "community board" about anything, you get a phone call the next day to take it down.

Seems the new management is more concerned about their bonuses than the residents.

Hello,

I have been to the office on this issue several times and nothing has been done. Our neighbor upstairs does not stop jumping at all hours of the day and night, as you all know we work on different shifts day and/or night, but this is getting worse, at around 10 to about 12:30 am the jumping is constant, also in the mornings starting at around 7 am and will not stop thru the day, weekend and holidays are even worst.

I have ask to please talk to them, I have giving the option for us to move to a 3rd floor. Well none of this options seams to matter to Camden at all because this issue continues, today thanksgiving day, and for the fourth and last time I went to the neighbor to ask again to please stop, what I got is they pay rent so there for they can do what ever they want. I have a video about this encounter that I will be happy to share with you.

I like the Camden community, but seen that the one time we have an issue management will not do anything to addressed, i will prefer to pay more for an apartment and have the management at least try to accommodate than pay less for something that is not usable.

We have been here for two years and never ever had any issue at all, but ones we do, management ignores us. Thanks but no, thank you.

I am sorry to say, I will not renew our contract for year 2022.
