During my time as a tenant, I encountered significant and concerning issues with property management. Unfortunately, I experienced aggressive and dishonest behavior from management, which has prompted me to share my experience.
The laundry and fitness facilities were poorly maintained, and it became evident that none of the units were being brought up to code. I faced a serious safety hazard when my fuse box caught fire, and my back porch collapsed, causing injury to my pet, with no repairs ever made. Additionally, management attempted an illegal eviction, clearly retaliatory in nature, after I requested necessary repairs following my injury. My legal counsel swiftly demonstrated the illegitimacy of this action, yet they chose to terminate my lease while knowing I was awaiting critical brain surgery.
Throughout my tenure, I endured verbal abuse from both management and the owner. Moreover, I witnessed alarming instances of neglect towards elderly residents, who were often left to manage severe issues on their own, rather than receiving the help they desperately needed.
Communication was another significant challenge, as management refused to engage with tenants outside of their app--despite requirements under the ADA. My own health situation, involving multiple brain surgeries and the loss of a brain lobe, seemed to be disregarded.
I would caution potential tenants: unless you are comfortable with a variety of issues--including pest infestations, property damage, and a hostile environment--consider other options. Even the "new additions" are by "his guys" and fall apart. The new porches without proper wood treatment is a prime example. The railing fell off so I couldn't use it the entire 11 months of worldly punishments I endured here.
I will leave with this final experience because I don't have much more room. The fuse box in my unit actually caught on fire. The city had to be involved as well as code enforcement. My refrigerator with $400 of groceries was wasted and it is in the lease that you are not to be reimbursed despite who is at fault. They did reimburse for a hotel For us all to cram into for the three days that the fire department needed to shut off the entire building to replace my entire fuse box which was apparently wired wrong and spliced together.
Having experienced homelessness with my child for nearly two years due to an unsafe living situation, I would choose that again over facing similar challenges.
Other than this "rental agency" I have positive landlord references in my past, and am residing in a new home, while continuing to work with my legal team. I felt it was important to leave this review not out of spite, but as a warning to others considering this rental property. read more
