DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!! SIGN NOTHING!! Since The Connor Group bought it in January they have bogus entrapping contracts, that will not let you leave for ANY REASON!!!!
The Boulevard apartments have been very unaccommodating to me and my family, and the woman (Jen) in the office that had us sign a lease refuses to let us speak to a manager.
My mother and I came to The Boulevard on Saturday, February 4th, we saw an apartment and were interested in leasing it. We filled out what we thought was just an application and were told the manager was off because it was Saturday and that the woman helping us apply, Jen, would call her and try to get our application approved. Once we got home and could better read what we had filled out we realized it was not just an application but a lease, and that it had no buy-out option. We texted, and emailed immediately, stating that we wanted to retract our application and void the lease that had not even been approved yet.
As The Boulevard was closed, we did not hear from them till Monday. At which point they told us we were approved and MUST now take the lease or pay the full lease price at almost $3,000 a month that was about $36,000. We were shocked and terrified that we would be trapped in a year lease that we didn't want, with no buy-out option. After trying many times by phone and email to cancel we went down to the office to negotiate in person. They still refused to cancel what they said was an enforceable lease but would give a shorter lease for $100 more per month for a 7 month lease. Seeing no other options that would not involve lawyers and possible court, we agreed under duress.
After we moved in we started feeling ill, first it affected my mother. She told me she felt bad the first night, the second she said it was hard to breathe, was waking up in the middle of the night gasping for breath and was constantly tired, by the third she feared for her life. Worrying that when she laid down to sleep she wouldn't wake up because she was having such a hard time breathing. It affected me slower. I was tired a lot and had to stop to take deep breaths often. We think something on the premises heavily affected our allergies. We contacted the office within three days of moving in and began moving back out, now into a hotel. As we could not live there even long enough to find a new place to live. Jen, the woman in the office that forced us into a lease only repeatedly stated we are responsible for the full term of the lease and that she would not accept an early move out for ANY reason, and would STILL NOT let us speak to a manager or anyone with the authority to release us from a lease we never wanted in the first place.
We only wish to be released from a contract we never wanted. read more
