Housing PSA: do not live in Walden Woods or anything managed by MTH
I am a current resident of Walden Woods Apartments in East Lansing on Harrison and Lake Michigan. I thought the horror stories I've heard about MTH wouldn't happen to me but my God these people are completely incompetent and useless. Their 1.7/5 stars review from 358 people on Google says all you need to know.
There was a big fire here last year, half of the top floor burned down. We currently have smokers inside the building, the fire alarms went off and everyone had to evacuate the entire complex. AND MANAGEMENT STILL REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. It's an old apartment, I'm not expecting a 5 star hotel experience. If things go wrong maintenance can fix it and I can deal with whatever but not being able to breathe inside my own apartment all while worrying about whether this place is going to burn down crosses the line for me. You would think that even they would take fire safety seriously but nope.
Oh don't even get me started with them shutting off the water in the middle of winter because they would rather have people come fix things on the next business day instead of dealing with it asap.
STAY TF AWAY FROM HERE AND ANYTHING MANAGED BY MTH
