My experience with Aimco and the Flamingo has been not only terrible, but has destroyed my credit so much that I'm unable to even rent anywhere else. When I moved into the South Tower, I loved the property. Everyone said it was like a dorm and they were right. I loved the diversity. Then I decided to stay long term and moved into the Garden units right by the volleyball court. I loved my home and met lots of great people. When renovation work began on the sea wall and volleyball court, that all went out the window. I lived on the first floor in a corner unit. I had workers looking into my apartment, heavy equipment parked on my patio right outside my sliding door, noise all day long and absolutely no care or consideration given by the staff there. I couldn't go outside my back door which faced the bay, an amazing view taken away by a solid green nylon fence. My lease was coming to an end in 2 months and I asked the management if it was possible to vacate early and end my lease. It was becoming unlivable at this point. Everyday it was noise, machinery and workers all around my home. I had to keep my blinds closed all the time and made my home more of a shelter than anything else. I kept in contact with management and saved all of my emails. Who knew they would stab me in the back so bad. I was given permission to leave my lease early by management and they asked me to bring my keys into the office. I did so. 2 months later, I learned they had placed an eviction on my credit report AND a LIEN for unpaid rent that they agreed to!!!!! I willfully left WITH permission and they still reported me as a failure to pay the remaining lease. This destroyed my credit score. Be aware, this property WILL find a way to take your money, your freedom and in my case, your ability to find a new home if you're extremely unhappy. I see a Flamingo rep respond to a lot of these posts and say how sorry they are and offer someone to discuss their issue with them. I've posted here twice, been in contact with AIMCO directly and interestingly enough, NO ONE HAS BOTHERED TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME. Why? Who knows. Hopefully they'll be caring enough to admit fault once in a while and take care of my credit score like they should have in the first place. I wouldn't recommend this property to my worst enemy.
