We moved into this apartment a month ago and the gate has been broken. When we signed the lease we asked about the gate and a code for when it’s fixed, she said we’ll get one when it is and that it’s been down for a while. Now today they suddenly fixed it. We called asking about a code and they’re demanding we pay money for an access card basically and are refusing to give us a code. I looked into our lease and it says we should be given a gate code for “sole purpose of access to the premises.” No where does it say we must pay for an entry card or that we must pay for parking.

Is this even legal and how do I go about being able to get to my apartment. Ive had so many issues with this apartment in just a months time and I am NOT very fond of paying 30 dollars per car/person just for gate access when it very clearly states we should have a code (and we were told we would get one on day 1 when we signed the lease).

tldr: apartment finally fixed gate, now demanding us to pay ≈90 dollars total for access to the gate. refusing to give code which lease states we should have. how can I go about this

My roommates and I recently moved into a new apartment complex about 2 weeks ago. The apartment was a mess (which is less important but still irritating). Major issue is the insane roach issue, I mean day one of being in the apartment we seen baby roaches and grown roaches, in every single room (2 story townhome). Dishwasher does not drain and was only slightly leaky (enough to handle). and STINKS like it’s been sitting for ever. We put in work orders as well as emailed the apartment complex with pictures and descriptions of each issue. Now 2 weeks later, they still have not came to assess any of these issues and the dishwasher is beginning to pool out water every time we use the sink (message sent out about this now)

Is there anything we can do if worse case scenario comes and they don’t address these issues any time soon? We have already waited 2 weeks and it’s gotten worse by the day. Its so disgusting to live with roaches that we’ve never dealt with before in such a major number. I am not sure about Mobile (yet alone Alabama)’s laws/rights on this.

tldr; moved in to new apartment, huge roach issue and drainage issue. apartment complex not address within the 2 weeks and now getting worse. what can i do about this/what are my rights
