Well, it is and I'm going to share my experience.
The maintenance has always been subpar. And I can live with most half ass jobs they do. That being said, I cannot recall one request they ever completely fixed. For instance, an outlet in my bathroom wasn't working- the maintenance personnel came and fixed it, in the process cut a hole around the outlet that has never been repaired, even though I was told the painter would be back to fix it. Took them 3 times to fix my leaking bathtub, never did send the painter back to repaint the kitchen after they finally figured out the problem. My air conditioning was leaking in the drain in the basement- maintenance came, flipped the breaker switch but left standing water in my basement. After putting in another request to deal with the water, he returned and applied a bright orange foam insulation all around my back patio. For a drain issue in the basement. Drive through the parking lot- you will have to go slow and pay close attention to the craters in the parking lot to avoid damaging you car. Don't trip on my uneven sidewalk- the one slat is about 6 inches higher than the others and crooked. The wind blows through the doors and windows, plan on insulating every winter and even then there is still a draft, even with the new front door I had to beg the office for. Also, be prepared and do everything in writing with them- I received a notice they could not enter my home because they did not have a key, I was going to be charged for it, and I needed to bring a copy of my key to office right away. This happened approximately 2 weeks after maintenance had entered my home, so where did the key go? When I reached out to them, initially they did not even care to respond. Myself, I was concerned that the office key had suddenly went missing, and followed up with them. They then called to tell me they had my key and it was a mistake.
But, I have stayed. Mostly because I did not want to move my kids out of their school.
However, this year I received notice my rent was going up 150 a month. When I contacted the leasing office to inquire if I would be receiving all these wonderful upgrades the apartments around me have, I was told no. So then why the rent increase? It can't be to maintain anything, my apartment is literally falling apart, the parking lot is a mess, and I swear each day there is more and more trash on the grounds. I decided to put my notice in that we would not be renewing our lease. I can find a better place for 1045 a month. I have since reached out to them to ask about staying through May (1 month) and was told no.
They do not owe me anything. Even though my moveout papers state I can change my mind and decide to stay....but as a tenant for nearly 10 years, I deserve to be treated better. Seems as though this is a scam, get all your longterm tenants out so you can hike up the rent on the newbies. I strongly caution anyone considering moving here and ask you reconsider your options. The place is a dump and the office personnel could careless about their tenants.
PS I typically only do good reviews, but the public needs warned about these people. You can find better.
