Extremely rude apartment manager Medina

The apartment just got renovated externally but are still old inside. The water pipes are old and water is sometimes yellow colored. Parking situation is bad and your car will likely get damaged. Washer dryers are broken. Medina won’t change your carpets or sink disposal or toilet. She puts notices every other day and increases the rent every year. I got locked out of my unit once because I forgot the keys inside, Medina wouldn’t help even though she is my neighbor. She said wait for morning working hours or else spend the night at hotel or call a locksmith. Extremely rude lady.
