I was lied to by Prime Place, now I don't know where I'm living for the school year.
My review is similar to others who were angered at the fact that construction was delayed forcing the hundreds of students who signed leases with Prime Place to not know their living situation for the fall semester just weeks before it begins. However, I think you all need to know more about exactly what happened leading up to this decision. So I called Prime Place a week before the email was sent out to me and asked, is my apartment specifically going to be ready for move in on the correct date. They said yes, Mike, your specific apartment will be ready, although others will not be. This was in late July, around July 30th. On August 1st, the send me an email saying that that was not true, and that I needed to chose between 3 options. I won't bore you with all of them in full, but the first correspondence said this for option 2, the option I selected. "You can choose to have Prime Place find a place for you to live until your apartment is ready...". Seems to suggest that they would find a place for you to live for two months and then you get to move into Prime Place, right? Nope. Their second correspondence omits certain parts of the option that were in the first correspondence and essentially all it was is a termination of the lease. You might be think here, read things carefully before you give a response, but considering the fact that they lied to me about my apartment being ready, told me my specific unit which they knew was not going to be ready, was in fact ready, and then sent an email saying that option two would mean we would move back into Prime Place after two months, they deceived me. I know that by the time you're reading this construction is probably done. You don't have to worry about that. But what you will have to worry about is dealing with liars as property managers. You'll have to know that anything that they say has to be taken with a grain of salt. Maybe two grains. Management has proven to be unreliable and willing to sacrifice the security of its patrons when it is convenient to them. They didn't care about me as a lease holder, so just be careful before assuming they will do any different to you.
Best of luck,
