Eight 80 Newport Beach Apartment
I am a former resident of the Eight 80 Newport Beach apartment complex in Orange County, CA. During my time there, I endured extreme pest infestations, dealing with roaches and ants throughout my living space.
Upon moving into my first unit at Eight 80 Newport Beach in Orange County, I was immediately greeted by dead roaches in the kitchen sink. This was just the beginning of a nightmare living experience in this Newport Beach apartment. Roaches infested every corner of my space – they were in my electronics and appliances, lurking in drawers, cabinets, on the floor, and even in the carpet. The situation became so severe that they triggered my smoke detector nightly between 3 am and 6 am, forcing me to disconnect it just to get some sleep. Cooking and storing food at home became impossible, and after enduring this ordeal for several months, I reached out to management about moving out.
Despite multiple treatments, the roach problem persisted, indicating that the issue extended beyond just one unit and required more than temporary fixes. When I expressed my concerns to UDR, the property management company, I received sympathy but no viable solutions other than continuing with ineffective treatments. If I moved out, they made it clear that I would be held responsible for the remainder of my lease. Eventually, they offered to relocate me to a new unit as a resolution. Although I accepted the offer, I soon discovered that I had traded roaches for ants.
Though not as repulsive as roaches, the ants presented their own set of challenges. Almost every morning, I would wake up to find ants infiltrating my living space, prompting a routine of spraying them down with cleaning solution and meticulously cleaning my appliances, particularly my Keurig, to prevent any from ending up in my coffee. All of my food had to be kept in zip lock bags placed inside of containers. Throughout the day, I had to remain vigilant, constantly monitoring and eliminating ants to prevent their numbers from escalating.
Despite my efforts, I never truly felt comfortable in my home at Eight 80 Newport Beach in Orange County. Since moving into a similar large complex over a year ago, I have not encountered a single roach or ant. This experience has taught me the importance of thorough research before choosing a large apartment complex, and I share it in the hope that it serves as a cautionary tale for anyone considering this property. However, don’t just take my word for it – a quick search for Eight 80 Newport Beach on review sites will reveal similar accounts of this problem and more. I hope you have found this Eight 80 Newport Beach apartment roach and pest infestation story helpful.
