Columbia City Condos

If I could give this company less than one star I’m give them — 100 stars. I’m a current Renter and I’ve been living at there location for not even a month and nothing they posted on Craig’s list is true. They do not got cable which the Renter would them tell you they do but they don’t it only lasted for 2 days them they will tell you that you can lay for your own cable? Add they list say all utilities included And cable TV. IT’S A LIE. I locked myself out and it cost $ 50.00 to let you in okay whatever my fault right? Well comes to find out that my door lock is upside down and backwards the guy they say is the handyman said he was coming back to fix it. STILL WAITING. I talked to all the other tenants and I have yet to hear a single nice thing about this company and I wish like hell that I did better research on them because they truly is SLUM LORD’S… Don’t be fooled by the nice add and how sweat the deal sound they offering you I promise you will regret it I been trying to see if the BBB would do something so I can get my money back because nothing they posted on the Craig’s list is true which is against they law I’m hoping, I hope even though I’m still living on there property they get shut down or somebody else who can do the job buys it from the current owner. I been to prison and yet I feel like renting from this company was the worst thing I ever done, I should have walked away when I first meet with the Renter and the place was $ 100.00 more than posted and a different unit than the one they posting. None of the plugging works so you will need a couple exention cords for power, no gutters on the building so falling and slipping is required, no outside lights, make sure to wear boots when parking mud pit parking. DO NOT RENT FROM COLUMBIA CITY CONDOS UNLESS YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE YOUR WAISTING YOUR MONEY… The only plus with this company is Rochelle the Renter she is nice and respectful plus she’s good looking and that’s why I gave them one star.

So… Carl sued me for my last post and his suit was thrown out by the court. I suggest you read this enlightening article about the case in the Seattle PI:

I would like to publicy apologize to Mr. Carl Haglund and the employees of Columbia City Condos.
Prior to this post, I posed two negative reviews which were extremely unfair to both Mr. Haglund, his companies and his employees.
I posted the comments without ever personally seeing the unit my wife and I were going to move into. Instead, I based my comments on pictures my wife took which do not reflect negatively on Mr. Haglunds Eden Rock Apartment. We were moving from Oregon over a very short period and did not spend time «shopping» for apartments.
Truth be told, we were looking for more of a «high end» apartment and were disappointed to have signed a lease at a complex which was never intended to be pricey. Instead, Mr. Haglunds’ apartments are both nice and reasonably priced apartments. We eventually found a spacious home with we rented for $ 1695 per month — almost double the $ 925 monthly rent at Eden Rock.
Being from out of town, I was also unaware that Mr. Haglund has spent millions of dollars and long hours over the last three decades helping to restore housing and the community in the Rainier Valley and has been commended for his efforts by local officers and community representatives.
Learning that my comments were extremely hurtful to Mr. Haglund and the employees who work for Mr. Haglund, made me realize how damaging comments can be to one’s reputation and standing in the community. I sincerely regret not thinking how unfair my comments were before posting them.
Finally, I want to apologize for the ‘cheap shot’ I took at Mr. Haglund when claiming he was arrested for assault. As it turns out, Mr. Haglund was himself assaulted and was merely trying to defend himself.
Sincerely,
Geoff G.

IF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS THIS GUY WOULD GET 10 OUT 10… My family and I lived in one of Carl Haglund’s slum apartment buildings in Tacoma for two years between 2012 – 2014. Carl Haglund is well worthy of the name slumlord and we even went as far as to have Jesse Jones come and interview us and take statements about the units that Carl owns in downtown Tacoma. 1412 South I Street Tacoma Washington 98 406 look into it there are still people suffering in those apartments in those conditions I have pictures of mold growing out of our ceiling and through the walls from when we lived there. The people who are living there still need help and for the longest time no one had been willing to do anything but finally somebody is shedding light on this guy and I would love to see them take him down! I have and proof such as pictures of mold and and other former and maybe present tenants who will back up my story. I have pictures of the mold damage that was done to our apartment while we live there and we were neglected by Carl Haglund for two years while dealing with this and during that time my wife gave birth to our twin boys one of which you had a severe skin problem the entirety of the time that we were there at that apartment it has gone away ever since we moved. I truly hope that by telling my story here I am helping the people that live in my previous apartment they were my friends and many of them have children and are all living in these units the weather is getting ready to turn and those apartments are going to be nearly unlivable during the winter with all of the mice and mold that these apartments are full of. It is a little blue fourplex on South I Street a few blocks from st. Joseph’s Hospital.

Mr. Haglund told me to «go f*ck myself» and hung up when I called to inquire about getting my deposit back. Classy.
