TALLHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Roaches, fleas, mold and many other issues: Two FAMU students say that's what they're living with at The Commons Apartment Complex.
Living in The Commons has been anything but enjoyable for roommates Jessica Thomas and Kristian Barnard.
According to Thomas, she and her roommates noticed dead roaches, fleas and several other issues before they moved into their apartment in August.
The complex promised to fix the issues but Thomas says they've reached out to management multiple times since then and nothing has changed.
"Me and my roommates have had several mental breakdowns," said Thomas who found roaches in her apartment. "Just getting ready in the morning and finding roaches in your book bag."
"It's hard to stay focused when you are in the living room and you want to do your homework and you're just looking around on the walls just to see if there is a roach," said Barnard.
The Commons apartment complex have offered to move Kristian and Jessica to different apartments but after weeks of constant issues they believe that enough is enough and they want to break their lease.
"Just let us out of our lease so we can move into somewhere else where we'll be comfortable living in our own home," said Thomas.
The students say pest control is included in their rent. They say the facility is supposed to be sprayed every Tuesday.
We reached out to The Commons Apartment Complex. Management did not provide a statement for this story. We spoke with workers in the office who say pest control has been to the complex.
