My husband and I lived in a townhouse at Rosemoore for over four years. The complex was quiet and we had our own garage which is hard to come by in Springfield. However, no legitimate work has ever been done on the decks or the front staircases. We never experienced any issues property management wise...until Monarch Investments purchased the property. Monarch came in, painted the siding and the front staircases, then told all of their long-time tenants, including us, who were month-to-month, that they need to pay 40% more in rent per month in order to stay on a month to month lease. Otherwise, tenants would need to sign a year lease and pay several hundred dollars more per month because of aaaall the work they had done. The wood on the decks and the front staircases is entirely warped at every unit. Instead of actually remedying those concerns, they hired people under the table to paint the wood and paid them via allowing them to live in vacant units while they left their trash (beer cans) in front of occupied apartments. We were actively looking to buy a home during this time and were told they would not make any exceptions as far as continuing our lease at the time. These people will not return phone calls or emails unless you incessantly call them. When we were actively moving our belongings out, Monarch, without any notice to tenants, brought in people to pour concrete in the complex. These people were urinating in front of trash bins and blocked off every single entrance to the complex. In the midst of all of this, I happened to find an article regarding Monarch investments. They own properties in Colorado and several other states. During the pandemic, they raised rent to exorbitant rates and illegally evicted people who could not afford to pay it. Look them up. Do yourselves a favor and pay a fair rate elsewhere to an entity who can exercise an iota of concern regarding their tenants. read more
