Palazzo Apartments

See Pine Lane Apartments on Yelp. It's the same owner and GBE Absolute Sponsor on Yelp. They are forcing tenants to rent on a month to month basis and kicking them out to remodel and check up the price of the rent. Tenants be warned

Horrible and illegal stuff happens here. Not safe, mailboxes constantly being tampered with, liars who change their llc every year to avoid liability and probably + tax evasion. Meth cooking, rotting floors and ceilings, broken swamp coolers, broken hot water heaters, constant water leaks and flooding, no usable pool, ass hole management who have worked for absentee landlords since 2019. Used to be a good thriving community, now they are kicking out elderly and disabled people to double the rent for this cockroach infested hell hole. Ridiculous, physical and emotional intimidation, most tenants unhappy, this is not a place you want to live. Wasps, roaches, fire ants, flooding, sewage backups, dogs can only pee on these rocks next to a backyard breeder with a vicious dog who tries to jump the fence and bite your face off if you come over, first communication received during pandemic as about removal of "unsightly" patio furniture during lockdown! people's apartments and cars getting broken into, no on site staff most of the time, and when you have a problem there is no way to contact them/ they ignore your issues/ are extremely aggressive to try to intimidate you out of taking further action. Overpaying rent, not sealed from the weather, no pest control, mold, water gets shut off often for up to 24 hrs at a time because of water main leakage, but then we have to pay that overage as residents (ridiculous), and sprinklers are broken so they waste water in summer that we end up footing the bill for. They don't feel that they owe tenants any respect. High utility bills and unexplained costs constantly (like half the residents here are paying "camera fees" despite not having security cameras - they took them down and left the electrical wires hanging. One person here was murdered and then was rotting in his apartment for a week before anyone found him- sure they are just tearing out the carpet and painting over it. The post office and the secret service have all been trying to get them to make our mailboxes more secure and they have done next to nothing to address that problem. Maintenance is abrupt, clearly stressed and overworked despite never complaining, and crabby. Most of them leave a huge mess everywhere they go because of the long list of work orders they have to get to- I have complained to Lupe, Angela, and other managers (when I could get ahold of them) of this problem, but they say they just have so much to do. They put up signs out front saying "move in, friendly, blah blah blah" and re-designed the office to make it look newer, while bullying long term folks out so they can pull the wool over your eyes and charge you twice as much as we pay. All folks who are good tenants and pay their rent, etc. Some are elderly and on permanent oxygen, are veterans, etc. This place is falling apart, is in serious neglect, and dealing with these mercenary paper pushing jerks has honestly been a stressful and traumatizing experience. Should you ever come here to live? Should you pay 950 for a 1 bedroom in ABQ next to central and the war zone with no AC? Hell no. Save your money and your self. GBE, Absolute, and all their out of town bosses are playing you and pretending to be "luxury." They are doing this to multiple complexes throughout town. Luxury my ass! Even when we had decent management on property this place was never ever luxury. A coat of paint and a few surface changes will not do anything about that.

This place is operated under relatively new ownership which has moved to evict years old and paid up tenants after providing 28 days notice. This in order to "remodel" the dilapidated buildings with fresh paint and raise the rent to an extortionate rate. They don't fox things for current residents, they don't keep the mail safe from constant theft. They won't be dutiful in responding when they update their facade and call the complex luxary.
