DO NOT RENT NESSEL PROPERTIES

Years at this apartment: 2007 - 2007
I recently moved into (and out of) Serendipity Apartments, also owned by Ariel Nessel (the owner of City Central). Although I called two times prior to my August 1st move-in day to assure that my apartment was ready, upon arrival (with movers) my apartment had no A/C, dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, stove or electricity! The twit manager asked if I could just "come back in a couple days." I moved in my belongings, and spent the next 2 days hounding the management for my appliances and A/C. I also came to find out that it was not just me that had this problem, but EVERYONE in my building (12 other tenants). I filed a violation notice with the City of Dallas Code Compliance office for the lack of A/C. On the third day, I gave notice to the manager that I would be vacating the apartment and sending the apartment a bill for all of my related expenses. Since then, it has been an on-going battle. The apartment (both management AND owner) refuse to take responsibility for anything and I have now hired an attorney.
If you have a similar experience, I encourage you to learn your rights as a tenant. If your apartment is not ready on your move-in day, this puts the property management in default of the lease agreement, which means you are legally allowed to leave the apartment and collect damages. BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT RENT ANYTHING OWNED BY NESSEL DEVELOPMENT!!

From: Seaywealth Date: 08/22/2007 I am so sorry for your experience. I went through a similar thing at City Central last year. I endured this poor excuse for management, and have more than enough evidence that you and your attorney are welcome to.
From: suprwumn83 Date: 08/22/2007 I did not move in but I was still screwed over by Nessel. Somebody needs to put these lowlife -------s out of business!!
From: eminencegrise06 Date: 08/23/2007 Seaywealth, I could use the information also. I'm going through the same experience, have already told them that I refuse to pay for August and September, and that I will seek legal action if neccessary.
Thanks
From: Anonymous Date: 08/25/2007 You guys are crazy. Ihad a great exeperience at City Central and I would highly recommend living here to anyone. It is sad because people that have mean/bad things to say search harder to find a way to say them (to make everyone else miserable)and people who have positive things to say don't really search for a way to say them because they are content.
Come see City Central for yourself, formulate your own opinion.
From: Anonymous Date: 08/26/2007 I have lived at City Central for 2 years now and have and great experiences there. The community is very safe and everyone who lives there is young and professional. I know that sometimes there are disturbing tenants who just want to argue with management to let out thier frustration over things that are the tenants fault....like getting their cars towed or getting fines for loud music. It is these things the management does to keep the community safe.
From: Logan2211 Date: 08/28/2007 The anonymous person is right, everyone else is wrong.
Obviously.
From: SlumLordNessel Date: 08/31/2007 Anonymous & Logan2211: You're crazy. I also believe that you work for the apartment complex and are simply trying to skew the responses in order to help your leasing. Maybe if the management would properly address these very serious complaints, they would be able to have a quality product that would lease well without having to break the law.
The person who left the review has no A/C, no dishwasher, no oven, no stove, and no refrigerator! I can't believe you would think this person is unjustified in their complaints. Especially because it's followed by 3 reviews from individuals who can prove that they had similiar experiences. It's against the law to allow tenants to live in an apartment without air conditioning. There is absolutely zero excuse for this person to be without the most basic of human necessities for three days. When was this review posted? August? Do you understand how HOT it gets in Dallas in August? This poor person could have dropped dead in their apartment from heat stroke! I think the tenants that were abused in this fashion should come together to form a class action lawsuit. My Lord, even my DOG gets to be in air conditioning in the summer.
From: Anonymous Date: 12/02/2007 Dear Annoynmous, or anybody else who lives at Serendipity,
We are not the only ones. I would like to correspond with you and maybe we can join forces to fight the fight. Slum lords need to be taken down!
Please repost to my comment and maybe go from there?
From: Anonymous Date: 12/19/2007 If anybody hasn't figured it out now, please make sure everyone knows what they are getting into. Sure one day this place could be great, but it ain't happening anytime soon. So if you feel you want to move here, come back in two years when things are absolutely finished. This management company looks at things through beer goggles. They neglect many things, and take advantage of the residents. For those who you that believe this place is great, tell me why it is that people all over the country are complaining about this property management company. Do some research guys. Check public court records, the laws, and read over everything very carefully. Check this out. It may get you started. http://arinessel.blogspot.com/
