TThese folks give the rental industry its negative reputation. Crystal Nunnery was the individual I had the misfortune to work with. My specific qualm with her professional conduct and that of the company she represents concerns breaking leases.
I, like many, I think, did not read the textbook of a lease word for word. Shame on me. However, before I signed the lease, I specifically asked multiple times about the rules surrounding breaking the lease. I asked again before I decided to break the lease. Each and every time the answer was, "$200". Upon breaking the lease and moving out, the charge is now $200 in addition to every month the apartment sits empty. Oh, I am apparently also a liar for stating that this is the first I have heard of the actual policy. Oh, and also, just for kicks, they charged me a painting and cleaning fee, although I left the apartment spotless upon returning the keys.
I am appalled not with the rules, but with the professional and human conduct. I would not have written this negative review had I been correctly informed.
On a side note, I rented at their Roxbury Place Apartments. While the apartment and landscaping are both lovely, the buildings are from the 1950's and highly, highly inefficient. The windows are single-pane and actually freeze over from the inside in the winter and the gas stove emits fumes. Although I spent an average of about 7 days out of the month at the apartment, I paid more in utilities than my parents do at their large, suburban home.
In summary, please be forewarned that these individuals have the professional conduct of used cars salesmen and you will pay a ton in utilities.
