I’m posting this for my daughter Brittney, who lives at Seaside. Please look the place over carefully before renting. I only did a quick walkthrough, and everything seemed fine at first, but there are a lot of problems. The bathroom door is hanging by one screw, the toilet keeps running unless you turn the water off and back on, and the bathtub faucet in the other bathroom is coming out of the wall. In the kitchen, the cabinet doors won’t stay shut, some have been cut to fit, the drawer slides are broken, and the handles don’t match. The old kitchen faucet has no sprayer, just a hole. There’s paint splatter on doors and walls, unfinished spots behind doors, a broken tile floor coming up, and large holes by the closet that need filling and painting. The door closing off the heating and air system is about two inches too wide. I was told the floor issue had been noted. All of these problems were reported, and no one helped. On Friday, Jan. 2, Jocelyn, the manager, came to look. She was rude and didn’t want to hear what we had to say. The maintenance guy told her he couldn’t fix a few things and didn’t know why they’d been left unfinished. Jocelyn blamed me for not bringing things up sooner and said I wanted to move in within two days. Brittney has been sick for a month and has to see an allergy doctor. Please watch Jacksonville News, there will be a segment there in the next few days. The apartment is 10 Clipper. Stay tuned for another update. Today, Thursday 12, 2026, I fixed the kitchen drawers and tried to put them back, but they stick and won’t slide in and out properly. I filled a hole with sheetrock filler, but no one came back to sand it. At least I got one shelf back up. I also lost my job and just got another one, but Jocelyn refuses to accept less than two months’ rent. I tried to pay last month, and she refused. I wanted to pay this month at the end of the month, but she said it all had to be paid by the 16th. Please pray for us, we really need it. There’s no food, water, or electricity as long as you pay rent. The rent deal isn’t two months free, it’s prorated for three months, which comes to just over $1,500 off overall. Think about it and do the math. Marketing needs someone who can add and subtract if they’re offering that rent special. I’m not saying nobody should live here. These things may seem minor to some, but they aren’t when you have to pay rent.
