Ohia Student Housing Con more money Honolulu Hawaii
I moved in to Ohia during the fall year of 2012, they advertised their student housing as if it was a luxury hotel. When I arrived to my apartment, there were holes, the wallpaper was falling apart, there were countless molds in the bathroom, the internet was unbelieveable slow (slower than dial-up- I couldn't even do my homework), and the fridge didn't work properly.
I told the front desk, but they kept telling me to email their lease director. I emailed them countless times since September of 2012 and I never got a response. I even tried calling them, but they never answer. When I asked to how to cancel my contract, the previous accountant (now deceased), told me there will be a cancellation fee. I asked him was that it, he confirmed yes.
Now, towards the end of the academic year in May, when I issued to get my contract canceled, they bombarded me with all these fines and extra fees including the cancellation fee. I was never told such a thing. I'm not even the only one unsatisfied with Ohia, everyone I know from Ohia dislikes the housing provided by them. They have 14 floors for rooms, with 10 or more rooms on each floor, that can serve up to 2 or more people per room.
Yet, they give us a kitchette with a broken mini fridgerator, no microwave, super slow internet (I can't even do my homework on), a filthy bathroom, and a quaint room with holes. At least remodel the place so it looks habitable.
I used to live in the ghetto areas of San Francisco, and the places there are on par if not better than the place in Ohia. For $800+ dollars a month for a
Even with all of that, and no place to stay, I endured it. What put me over the edge was after I already left in May 24th 2012, not only did they charge me the cancelation fee, but half of the remaining months I was supposed to spend there and for the month of June, for which I wasn't even living there.
Ohia is all negatives except for the friendly staff. I really feel bad for them working in a dump like that.
I don't mind paying for the cancellation fee of my contract, but trying to sneak it more money is being selfish, greedy, and downright cunning.
