I rarely leave negative reviews, but I believe prospective tenants deserve complete transparency regarding my experience.
On March 19, I notified management that, due to health reasons, I needed to terminate my lease early. They agreed to allow me to vacate on July 31, with the understanding that I would remain responsible for the rent until the apartment was re-rented. I accepted those terms because I knew how fortunate I had been to secure this apartment at $1,995 per month, with heat and hot water included, at 135 Quincy Ave.
What I find particularly troubling is that, over the course of nearly four months, the apartment was shown only twice before eventually being rented for the end of August--at a higher monthly rent than I had been paying. Given the amount of time available to market the unit, I find it difficult to reconcile such minimal showing activity with the expectation that I should bear the resulting financial obligation.
While I genuinely appreciated the opportunity to live here, my experience with management has been profoundly disappointing. From my perspective, there was an insufficient and lackadaisical effort to mitigate any potential losses, while the financial repercussions have been disproportionately transferred to me. I believe landlords should conduct themselves with professionalism, diligence, and accountability, particularly when a tenant has acted in good faith throughout the process.
I will allow the legal process to determine whether those obligations were fulfilled. read more
