Since late summer 2021 and the sale to BFS Property Group / Axela Management, living here has become a nightmare. Tenants are being given the option to either vacate in 4 weeks, or to sign a lease with a $150 per month increase. Also, pet fees have been imposed and storage fees are about to be imposed. This, we are being told, is to bring the rent "up to market value". I say, Market value compared to what? Axela Management raves about the improvements that are coming, how wonderful it will be here when they are done. It's going to be "luxury living" here! But what about in the meantime? In the meantime, this place is about to be turned into a construction site and will be that for a year. And tenants who are forced to stay because they have no place to move to on such short notice will be living on that construction site, while paying for "luxury living". It is unconscionable to raise the rent here this much on tenants that can't afford it and also while so many repairs still need to be done, apart from the renovations. We are living here now and are paying for now. Pay for storage? What a joke. There's barely even any lighting down there. Other problems include the cracked tennis courts, the poorly maintained pool, broken locks on the access doors from the outside, meaning anyone can get in / no security, and one of the buildings has a wonky elevator. Axela says all will be fixed with the renovation. Well! Then start charging for it all AFTER the renovation is over. Working people, families, and seniors on a fixed income live here. In my opinion, the right thing, (as well as the legal thing?), for the new owners to do would be to keep the rent where it was until the renovations are done and also to give the tenants here enough time to move out. I am sad to say that I myself am now looking for a new place to live. Sad because this was once a very nice place. But now, even if I could afford to stay for the coming "luxury living", I don't think I would. What kind of landlords will these new owners be, based on what they've done so far? I don't trust them. They clearly don't care about people. It was bad enough when Figure 8 Properties was running this place. While it was up for sale, they obviously wanted to put no further money into it. Case In Point, the elevator in one of the buildings was down constantly for months, from about March to this mid-summer, until a third-floor tenant who needs a wheelchair finally called Channel 61 News and the local Fire Marshal. And we all thought that was bad. Little did we know what was coming. read more
