We rented from the same lady in Davis for 3 years. We were informed that we would share PGE and our mailbox and the trash bins upon move in. We had numerous tenants that lived behind us move out and not pay their portion of the PGE which turned out to be considerable. The 4 plex was not zoned correctly so there was no way to tell how much the water or the electricity was and so we were forced to guess each month. The first place we rented from, the roaches were so bad that I couldn't walk through a room without turning on the lights. We were charged for items upon move-out that we were not responsible for and that were not in our lease. There was only a thin door that separated our unit from a studio behind us and the noise was considerable. When we requested that things be fixed, sometimes we waited 2 to 3 months. And when we called the landlord, the voicemail was full and we would get hung up on repeatedly.
